Conditional index to subset the data:
ssfa_num_grp1 <- ssfa[10:24][CatCol == "Condition1"]
ssfa_num_grp2 <- ssfa[10:24][CatCol2 == "Condition2"]
Again to assign back to source dataframe:
ssfa$mean[CatCol == "Condition1"] <- ssfa_num_grp1
It should be fairly straight forward to roll it into a loop thereafter.
