"And I would like to group the Subject by Quarter using as a result in the
table the value of the third variable (Boolean). The final result would
give:

 Subjet Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4
1    100  Y  Y  Y  Y
2    101  N  N  N  N"

Are you sure that this is the final result you want ?

You could use the reshape package (and not reshape function) :
library(reshape)
truc <- data.frame(Subject=rep(100:101, each=4),
Quarter=rep(paste("Q",1:4,sep=""),2), Boolean = rep(c("Y","N"),4))
mtruc <- melt(truc, id = c("Subject", "Quarter"))
cast(mtruc, Subject ~ Quarter)

Final result :
  Subject Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4
1     100  Y  N  Y  N
2     101  Y  N  Y  N
