You've set the become vars but you haven't actually turned on become, have a read through https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/user_guide/become.html#become-flags-for-windows especially the "copy a file from a fileshare with custom credentials" example.
If you are trying to copy a file from a remove UNC share to the local path of the Windows host, don't use the UNC path for dest, just do 'dest: C:\users\Administrator\Desktop\test\certnew.cer'. You still need the UNC path for src though as the src is how that process finds the file.
