I've been looking wiring diagram for Squier Telecaster Custom which has 2 humbuckers (http://www.squierguitars.com/products/search.php?partno=0327502506). Does anobody know where I can find it? Or is it the exactly same as Fender '72 Telecaster Deluxe.

Fender has a load of wiring diagrams in the support area at www.fender.com, including the '72 Delux. The link below will load the .pdf of the diagram:

OK, I still have the same problem. The Squier humbuckers have only two wires (white and black), and Fender "Wide range" humbuckers have three wires (Brown, black and bare).
How do I know which one is the hot wire and goes where Fender's brown wire goes? I hope someone can help me.
Here are some pictures of those Squier humbuckers:

Fender-black and bare are ground, brown is hot.
Squier-black should be ground and white hot.

reverend,
There are some Squier wiring diagrams here, however they don't have one for the Custom or Custom II.
The '72 Custom wiring should provide the same (or nearly the same) functional control as the factory wiring for a Squier Custom. If you have a switch of the same connector orientation as a '72 Custom and want to wire your guitar like the '72 Custom, then the '72 Custom wiring diagram should work. You just need to transpose the wire colors. If you have a switch with a different switching or connector orientation you'll need to transpose that too.
For transposing the wiring colors...
I have a Squier Custom. I have a different set of pickups in it now and its original pickups are in box. I could check mine when I get home, but here's what I would do then so you can just check this yourself.
Buckers like those with only two conductors normally have one of the two leads connected to the cover, as well as to one end of the pickup coil. So you should be able to check with an ohmeter to determine which of the two wires coming from the pickup is connected to the pickup cover. Use that lead as ground, and connect it where the '72 Custom diagram shows the black and bare wire going. Then connect the other lead from the pickup where the '72 Custom diagram shows the brown wire going.
