For cron jobs, take a look at the Transients API.
The rest could maybe be acchieved with something like the following. I have never ever used the transient API before and code’s not tested.
function set_post_to_draft()
{
global $post;
if ( get_post_meta( $post->ID, 'set_to_draft_key' ) == true );
return $post->post_status == 'draft';
}
set_transient( 'post_to_draft_transient', set_post_to_draft(), 60*60*12 ); // 12h interval
