Try adding this to colorbox-iframe.html

<input type="button" name="btnClose" value="Close" onclick="parent.$.colorbox.close()" />

I've never used colorbox before, but maybe you want to add the close button via jQuery in your function:

var openModal = function (){        
     $(".Modal").colorbox({
         iframe:true, 
         opacity:0.5, 
         scrolling:true, 
         width:832, 
         height:456, 
         top:60
     });

     $("<div class='thisClosesTheModal'>Close Modal</div>").appendTo(".Modal");
     // style .thisClosesTheModal to look like a close box
}

// and then the function that closes the modal

$(".thisClosesTheModal").live('click', function(){

   $('Modal').hide();

}
