Not sure what you exactly want but you could look at function quantile.
Or you could compute confidence interval for mean by e.g.
> mean.int
function (x, p = 0.95)
{
x.na <- na.omit(x)
mu <- mean(x.na)
odch <- sd(x.na)
l <- length(x.na)
alfa <- (1 - p)/2
mu.d <- mu - qt(1 - alfa, l - 1) * odch/sqrt(l)
mu.h <- mu + qt(1 - alfa, l - 1) * odch/sqrt(l)
return(data.frame(mu.d, mu, mu.h))
}
