Do you mean the chip model? It can be accessed through JTAG. As an example you can open the Quartus programmer and click on "autodetect".

No, chip model - IDCODE, and it can be access through JTAG. 

I mean - Is in the Cyclone chip exist uniqe number for every chip? 

Like DNA number in Xilinx chips.

AFAIK there is no documented way of accessing the device's serial number.

I don't think, that standard FPGA families have a serial number. Has it been said to exist by Altera?
