Yes there is an option to change bools to char

    * *Data Type Options:* affects how some data types are mapped:
          o /Text as LongVarChar/: PostgreSQL TEXT type is mapped to
            SQLLongVarchar, otherwise SQLVarchar.
          o /Unknowns as LongVarChar/: Unknown types (arrays, etc) are
            mapped to SQLLongVarChar, otherwise SQLVarchar
          o /Bools as Char/: Bools are mapped to SQL_CHAR, otherwise to
            SQL_BIT.

My memory is fuzzy but there are some additional settings in Access that 
allows data type mapping...

I know that there are a couple of options that affect the
representation of Booleans in the odbc driver.  I'm not sure it will
do what you need though.

However, here is the official documentation: (hopefully it helpful)
