I'm afraid this is impossible. The boolean type field only supports true/false value and the field appears as a checkbox in the work item form.

Here is the document you can refer to:

The field appears as a checkbox in the work item form. Check the box to indicate a True value. If you display the field on the Kanban or Taskboard, then the field values of True and False display (not a checkbox).

So if you want to appear as in progress/finish, you need to use Picklist (string) type field.
