Is this a good question?

Is it leaking? If so, where do you see water?

I've never heard of toilet being cemented to the floor. Are you sure there are no "closet bolts", that may be covered by caps?

See step #3 on this link to know what I am talking about:

Here is a video that will help. The base of the tank is probably caulked. Use a putty knife to cut the caulking and separate it from the floor. I also would suggest using rubber gloves. Tap or click on the blue link. I hope this helps. Good luck!
