If you already have a hanging lamp, you can just detach the old shade, and hang the colander from it.

If you do not already have a lamp hanging there, you will have to install an electrical box.

Before you start making holes in the ceiling, talk to someone who knows what they're doing. You probably have a friend who is at least an amateur electrician. If you do not, befriend an electrician, or someone who has done it before. The people at Home Depot count.

Seriously, don't start messing with electricity unless you know what you're doing. Hanging a lamp could be a whole other Instructable. As soon as it exists, I will link to it. For the time being, just talk to somebody that knows what they're doing.
