I have a SURFboard SB5120 cable modem. Is there a way I can set it as a signal generator for cable and component testing?

No.
The CMTS tells it at what frequency to transmit, and then it's a digitally modulated carrier. You would need a couple of grand worth of equipment to read it. Aslo, it can transmit only in the 5-42MHz bandwidth.
Why not just get something like a "Dark Meter System"
