I am working on some project and presentations in LaTeX using the beamer package. I am just a beginner in this so I really need your help. My problem is that the default presentation page size is small and I need to transform it into A4 paper size. Can anybody help me how to handle this problem?

You can use the \scalebox{} command that comes with the graphicx package. E.g., with
\scalebox{0.7}{%
\begin{tabular}{...}
...
\end{tabular}}
your text will be printed at 70%.
This will only work if you use a Sweave chunk to create an external file (say, tab1.tex) and then include it in the LATEX file using an \include or \input statement, not by printing it directly into you master file with results=tex.
Update:
Given my comment and your updated question, I would suggest to look at the Design package which offers convenient LaTeX export of nice-looking Tables, see summary.formula(). Again, the idea would be to write a Table generated this way into a TeX file, and then \input it into your master Rnw file. You can look at Statistical Reporting, Linking S Output with Report Documents, Literate Programming, Managing Analyses, and Documenting Programs and Data for more detailed illustrations.
One option would be to use the showexpl package. A little example:
\documentclass{beamer}
\usepackage{showexpl}
\lstloadlanguages{[LaTeX]Tex}
\lstset{%
basicstyle=\ttfamily\small,
commentstyle=\itshape\ttfamily\small,
showspaces=false,
showstringspaces=false,
breaklines=true,
breakautoindent=true,
captionpos=t
}
\begin{document}
\frame[containsverbatim]{
\begin{LTXexample}
\begin{itemize}
\item First.
\item Second.
\item Third.
\end{itemize}
\end{LTXexample}
\begin{LTXexample}
\begin{equation}
x^2 + y^2 = z^2.
\end{equation}
\end{LTXexample}
}
\end{document}
Here's the result:

Werner's example shows a problem with the
beamerclass, namely that the class doesn't redefine\frametitleinhandoutmode, which is really annoying. I always recommend you do something along the following lines. (Alternatively you may write\frametitle<handout>{...}, which is really cumbersome.)Redefining
\framesubtitleis done in a similar way.
