Seems unlikely. You are not supplying sufficient arguments for the  
pnorm function for one thing. For another I suspect you really want  
the rnorm function and the first argument to it is the number of  
random numbers to return:
Perhaps
p1<-rnorm(200. mean=0, std=1)
p2<-pnorm(200, mean=0, std=1)

Jim's suggestion will work but even simpler would be:

x <- cbind(x, v1 = (p1>0.4)+0, v2 = (p2> 0.6)+0 )
