\usemodule[letter]

\startletter
   [subject={How to change the position of the subject line},
    opening={Hi Parchd,}]

The elements of the letter environment can be changed with the 
\tex{setupletterelements} commands,
the default order of them is

\startitemize[packed]
\item title,
\item subject,
\item opening,
\item content,
\item closing and
\item appendices
\stopitemize

To put the subject after the opening you have to modify this order with 
the following setup:

\starttyping
\setupletterelements
   [section]
   [title,
    opening,
    subject,
    content,
    closing,
    appendices]
\stoptyping

\stopletter
