Here is the code, to be inserted before (or even after) the last -list-
command

*************
//drop the last 10 of var5cat for each of its levels
  bys var5cat: keep if _n<=_N-10
*************

Careful though! In Stata, you cannot "delete" a "cell", as you can in
spreadsheets. When you -drop-/-keep-, you delete entire rows, i.e.
observations. You could of course set var4 to missing, which may or may not
be closer to your notion of "deletion". 

*************
//replace the last 10 of var5cat to missing for each of its levels
  bys var5cat: replace var4=. if _n>=_N-10
*************

Dear Martin,

from the last do-file that worked perfectly, how could I delete the last 10
observations from var4 at var5cat==0 and the last 10 observations from var4
at var5cat==1

Sorry, you said you wanted separate lb/ub for your newvars:

****
clear*
set obs 100

gen id=_n

//lower bound for var1
local a1 40
//upper bound  for var1
local  b1 100

//lower bound for var2
local a2 56
//upper bound  for var2
local  b2 76

//lower bound for var3
local a3 74
//upper bound  for var3
local  b3 88

//lower bound for var4
local a4 45
//upper bound  for var4
local  b4 67

forv i=1/4{
gen var`i'=`a`i''+int((`b`i''-`a`i''+1)*runiform())
}

gen var5cat=0
replace var5cat=1 in 51/100

list, noobs h(30)
****
