The actual phrase is "You can't have your cake and eat it, too." This is a really old expression, from the 1500s. What it means is: if you eat your cake, you won't have it anymore. When people use this expression, they're usually referring to two things that you can't have at the same time (ie; you can't have a boyfriend and fool around with other guys at the same time).

you say: you cant have your cake and eat it too. which means you cant have your way and be happy too.

The correct saying is, "You can't have you cake, and eat it too." It means you can't have two things you want, here's a good example of this, so you'll understand it better.
A guy wants to have a girlfriend, but date another girl on the side. This would be the time where the girlfriend would say, "You can't have your cake, and eat it too."
