cherry : 0 Mean : 25.00
mengo : 0 3rd Qu.: 42.00
pineapple : 0 Max. : 70.00

You are aiming pretty high for a newbie! Do you expect to be able to reformat the output of canned stats programs like SPSS or SAS? The short answer is that it is a lot of work to get R to put the results in the format you want.
