OK, so how can you get a list of files inside a folder? There is 1 function that does that.
And once you have that list, what method can you use to process each file individually?
How can you move a file? How can you create a folder?
How can you detect if a file starts with Prostatex0001 or Prostatex0000?
Start with these questions. This should enable you to find the solution on your own. The most important thing you learn as a programmer is splitting up your big problem into solvable parts.

In two lines:
movefile('Prostatex0000_*.nii','subdir0')
movefile('Prostatex0001_*.nii','subdir1')
