In US, if I have no symptoms, can I just get it done as a preventive care? I doubt that wothout a referral. Has anyone done that? I m approaching 40 and wondering

Maybe? I think they're recommended for everyone at 50 years, but for anyone else I don't think they would normally recommend getting one unless you have some symptom or family history of cancer.
Getting a genetic test might be another option if cancer is what you're worried about. Not as accurate as a colonoscopy, though.

You should be able to.
The other option is stool sample testing for blood.
