Answer 1

First create new status Stores > Order Status and set the code for status custom_cancel and use below code

        $orderId = 3;
        $objectManager = \Magento\Framework\App\ObjectManager::getInstance();
        $order = $objectManager->create('\Magento\Sales\Model\Order')->load($orderId);
        $state = $order->getState();
        $status = 'custom_cancel';
        $comment = '';
        $isNotified = false;
        $order->setState($state);
        $order->setStatus($status);
        $order->addStatusToHistory($order->getStatus(), $comment);
        $order->save();

Firstly you must create a custom status and assigned a state like processing. in an upgradeData or InstallData

      $statusData = array('status'=> 'custom', 'state'=> 'processing', 'label' => 'custom state');
      try {
            $objectManager = \Magento\Framework\App\ObjectManager::getInstance();
    $statusFactory = $objectManager->create('\Magento\Sales\Model\Order\Status\StatusFactory')->load($orderId);

            $status = $statusFactory->create(['data' => $statusData]);
            // Firstly, create the status
            $status->save();
            // Secondly, assign the status to state
            $status->assignState($statusData['state']);
        } catch (CouldNotSaveException $exception) {
            $this->logger->critical($exception);
        }

Answer 3

i created:

$order = $objectManager->create('\Magento\Sales\Model\Order')->load($order_number);
$order->setState(\Magento\Sales\Model\Order::STATE_CANCELED, true);

If i check the status programmaticaly with

$order = $objectManager->create('\Magento\Sales\Model\Order')->load($order_number);
return $order->getState();

the status is canceled but if i see to frontend it not changed.

Why?
