1.My Cluster already have SQL Server 2000 SP4 Installation.
2.Can I start Installation(Side by Side) from Passive node ?
3.you want me give New SQL Server Netwrok name (Instance Configuration Screen)?.
4.you want me give New Instance ID name (Instance Configuration Screen)?
5.Can I chose Excixting Clustore resource group or I need to Create New group which is the best ?
6.Can I use same quarum drive which is using by SQL Server 2000
My condifuration:
I Open Cluster Administator Application
at top most I am able to see
SQLCLUSTER --> Groups
Resources
Cluster Configuration
Node1
Node2
Under "Groups" again Two Icons 1.Cluster Group and 2.SQL

SQL Server 2008 R2 side by side installation in Cluster(Active/passive on Windows 2003 SP2).
Are you sure you really want to do this?
Windows 2008 would be a better option!

active or passive, you may want to read the MS article regarding installing SQL server 2008 alongside 2000

3.you want me give New SQL Server Netwrok name (Instance Configuration Screen)?.
yes you will need a unique network name

4.you want me give New Instance ID name (Instance Configuration Screen)?5.Can I chose Excixting Clustore resource group or I need to Create New group which is the best ?
you will need new instance Id and resource group

6.Can I use same quarum drive which is using by SQL Server 2000
the quorum is shared by the cluster, this should not be of any interest to you installing SQL Server!
You really need to have a better understanding about the system you are configuring, get this wrong and you'll open a whole can of worms.
