I wanted the exact same thing.  Here's what I have in my .emacs:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
;; Create notes from tasks
(defun my-planner-create-note-possibly-from-task ()
  "Create a note.  If point is on a task then craete a note from that task."
  (interactive)
  (if (planner-current-task-info)
      (call-interactively 'planner-create-note-from-task)
    (call-interactively 'planner-create-note)))
(define-key planner-mode-map [(control c) (control n)]
  'my-planner-create-note-possibly-from-task)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

You can probably do the same thing without rebinding the key to a
different function using advice, but I like this way as I can easily
call the original `planner-create-note' if I don't want to add a note
to the current task (but do want to create a note, obviously).
