that's my function to insert a new record

public static void initReport(){
    Report R =new Report(Name='Survey with Questions and Responses',Format='Summary',OwnerId='00l40000001ACJdAAO' );

Answer 1

You just generally can't insert a Report through code. You will get that same error on every field. It just says Name because that is the first field you are specifying.

Answer 2

As dphil says you cannot insert a report through vanilla Apex.

You can however use a Metadata API wrapper such as this one by Andrew Fawcett.
