What you term as a four wire cable is known as a three wire cable in the electrical trade. The ground wire is not counted in the cable set as it is not a current carrying conductor. Turn the power off to the circuit in question. Remove the three prong outlet from the junction box. If you see a red, black, white and bare ground then you have a three wire cable feeding the receptacle. If this is what you see and the purpose of this question is to see if it can be changed to utilize a new four blade recepticle then the answer is yes.
