One way to do this would be as follows
mat = SparseArray@Table[
{Random[Integer,n],Random[Integer,n}->1,{Floor[p n^2]}]
where n is the size of the matrix you want and p is the percentage of ones you want. Note if p is large, there may be more efficient ways to achieve what you want than using SparseArray.
