It appears that you have a 2x2 table coming from paired binary data..
If this is the case the McNemar test is appropriate.
See
?mcnemar.test
or even better the package exact2x2, function mcnemar.exact() for an
"exact" approach,

Hi I was wondering whether anyone can help me with this problem....it's been
driving me nuts, I've been trying to figure it out for months and months
without success!! Basically I have a group of participants who attended 2
experimental sessions a few months apart. I took measures of the way they
approach two tasks at Time 1 and the same two tasks at Time 2. I have
categorical data (a frequency table for each task) consisting of the goal
profiles that participants adopted at Time 1 and at Time 2. I would like to
test whether there is a significant difference between the goal profiles
that participants adopted at Time 1 and Time 2. Is Fisher's exact test the
test to use in this case?
I would really really appreciate any help!!
Thanks
Debbie
