I have a doubt about bonus spells.
Can a spell caster whose spell ability modifier provides him bonus spells of a level to which it doesn't have access yet convert these spells to a lower level spell?

Exemple: A 1st lvl cleric with a wisdom score of 18. He has bonus spells till 4th lvl. Can he use his bonus 2nd, 3rd and 4th lvl spells to prepare 1st level spells?

No. You only get slots for levels you can cast.

That's what I think, but where, in which book, did you find that rule?

I believe it is in the FAQ.

Player's Handbook, page 7-8 (in fact, the relevant quote is right underneath the table for bonus spells).
