a = raw_input("Enter either: 'Y' or 'N': ")
if a == "Y":
    print "Hello"
elif a == "N":
    print "Goodbye"

Is there any way that if a = y, it continues to the code that is not in the if, elif part of the code?
Or assign the output to a value, but only if they do a certain one? For instance, if it outputs "Hello", you assign to value b?

Simply assign a value to a variable in the condition that you want it rendered.

I don't really understand your question. If you want your code to be case insensitive, that's an easy change:

a = raw_input("Enter either: 'Y' or 'N': ")
if a.upper() == "Y":
    print "Hello"
elif a.upper() == "N":
    print "Goodbye"

if you're saying you want to skip the condition if a == 'y' :

a = raw_input("Enter either: 'Y' or 'N': ")

if a != "y":
    if a == "Y":
        print "Hello"
    elif a == "N":
        print "Goodbye"
else:
    #code that skips the if statement

No, just that if a == y, then the output would be hello. Is there any way to automatically assign the "hello" output to another variable?
Also, if you enter n, then the out put would be "goodbye". Can you make it so that the code only continues if the output is "hello" without putting the entire code in the if statement?

Sure, none of this is very hard to do. Assigning a string to a variable is as simple as output = "hello"

As for moving things out of the condition, that's doable too. What you might want to think about is something called an early exit case. This is when you end your program or function at an earlier point. You could return from your function a == 'N'. Once you've done that, nothing in your function is accessible if the user chose 'N', thus it wouldn't need to be indented. Give this a shot on your own and show us what you come up with and we'd be happy to help you out more if you need it.

SIDENOTE:
Early exit cases are often considered poor form. I personally think they're fine so long as they aren't abused.
