The only way I can think of would be to use NetworkTopologyStrategy and
PropertyFileSnitch to define two data centers. Set node1-node3 in DC1 then set
node4 in DC2. Then set the strategy_options=[{DC1:3, DC2:1}] for that keyspace.
This would make your cluster conceptually similar to a split datacenter as
described in the Brisk white paper.

Subject: Specifying exact nodes for Consistency Levels
Is it possible in some way to specify what specific nodes I want to
include (or exclude) from the Consistency Level fulfillment ?
Example, I have a cluster of 4 nodes (n1,n2,n3 and n4) and set N=4. I
want to set W=3 and want to ensure that it is n1,n2 and n3 only that
are used to satisfy w=3 (i.e. n4 is excluded for w=3 calculation).
Thanks.
