It looks like this package is only available in bioc-devel, which has 
not been released yet.

How would you have known?

It will be released sometime in April (I believe) after R-3.1.x is 
released. In order for you to install SomaticSignatures via biocLite, 
you have to first install the current development version of R-3.1.

It also looks like you are running R as a user who does not have rights 
to install into the default package directory. You can either run R as 
administrator account, or setup a package directory in your home 
directory that R can use "on top of" the default install. To figure out 
how to do that, google "r_libs_user"

HTH,
