Why on Earth would you want to? "Cutting" a deck makes no sense in software. Randomize the deck properly (Google "Fisher-Yates") and start dealing. Cutting the deck will not make it any more random, and in fact will probably make it worse depending on how you choose the cutpoint. The purpose of "cutting" cards is to make it more difficult for human dealers to stack a deck. Simulating it in software makes no more sense than simulating the cigars you smoke while playing.
