Since the comma() function is just a wrapper for format():

function (x, ...)
{
format(x, ..., big.mark = ",", scientific = FALSE, trim = TRUE)
}
Why not just define your own function that does what you want?
myComma <- function (x, big.mark=",", ...)
{
format(x, ..., big.mark = big.mark, scientific = FALSE, trim = TRUE)
}
myComma(1000,".")

Not quite sure what you mean here; see ?format for more details.
format(1200,big.mark=".",nsmall=2)
might be what you want, but if you're going to use "." for big.mark
then you might want:
options(OutDec=",")
[1] "1.200,00"
