Low intensity cardio in AM with low carbs is okay. Not empty. Creatine can be used throughout competition. Also, read this: http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/layne36.htm

I have already taken Creatine Monohydrate Powder when I started Bodybuilding. Approx. 1 kg. I also Got fantastic results. good pump, size, strenth. But I am confused that is it advisable to continue with creatine, if yes when to leave it before competition. I have also another Question. Now I do cardio (trademill) 30 minutes in morning (slow) & in afternoon 30 minutes slow running in field from last week & I reduced 5 kg...

Cardio on empty or fed...whatever blows your hair back brother! Just don't do it on empty because you think you're burning more fat. Cardio creates a calorie drag over time - days, weeks, months. It really doesn't matter how much, if any, fat you're burning during the actual session. 2 things I would not do fasted are 1) High intensity cardio of any kind and 2) lifting.
