I haven't tried this myself but the way I would do it is to create a second cron job that kills the first one.

sample code to set start time

ct = new CronTrigger("cronTrigger", "group", cronExpression);

Calendar futureDate = Calendar.getInstance();
futureDate.set(Calendar.YEAR, 2013);
futureDate.set(Calendar.MONTH, GregorianCalendar.MARCH);
futureDate.set(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH,
futureDate.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, 13);
futureDate.set(Calendar.MINUTE, 15);
futureDate.set(Calendar.SECOND, 10);
futureDate.set(Calendar.MILLISECOND, 0);
ct.setStartTime(futureDate.getTime());

and for end time:

Calendar ffutureDate = Calendar.getInstance();
ffutureDate.set(Calendar.YEAR, 20143);
ffutureDate.set(Calendar.MONTH, GregorianCalendar.MARCH);
ffutureDate.set(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH, 18);
ffutureDate.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, 9);
ffutureDate.set(Calendar.MINUTE, 58);
ffutureDate.set(Calendar.SECOND, 15);
ffutureDate.set(Calendar.MILLISECOND, 0);
ct.setEndTime(ffutureDate.getTime());
