I borrowed a Windows 7 disk from my friend and I thought it was 32bit but it turned out to be 64bit and I only have 2GB of RAM. Since I have some stuff that I would rather not install again because it took a long time, is there a way to make the 64bit Windows a 32bit Windows without reinstalling Windows?

No. It would only be a 32-bit system if it had a 32-bit kernel; 32-bit programs; 32-bit libraries (DLL's); and 32-bit drivers. That's pretty much the entire OS.

To replace all that wouldn't be much different from reinstalling the OS. In fact, since there are no existing tools for it, it would take longer to do so than to reinstall.

(Not sure what meaning you're using 'boot my computer' as. It doesn't mean erasing it, nor reinstalling it; it just means starting it.)
