What you want is not at all clear. In fact, you seem confused about some basics.
For example, if you fit a regression
Y2=a2*x+b2
it's not true that a2 = mean(x).
What do you mean by "deactivate" a coefficient?
-qreg y-
works; it's just a round-about way of calculating the median of -y-,
which you can do directly with -summarize-.
