I'm not clear on what you mean by "I want get fMRI time course for surface 
vertices of every subject."

If you just mean how do you scale up -- map that many volumes to all your 
subjects -- then I recommend scripting it and using caret_command.  (Note that 
Workbench, the software that is superseding Caret 5.*, has more robust mapping 
features than caret_command, but I am going to provide the caret_command usage, 
since this is the caret-users list.  There is also a hcp-users list that covers 
workbench.)

Here is the usage for the command that maps volumes onto surfaces:

      caret_command -volume-map-to-surface  
         <coordinate-file-name>
         <topology-file-name>
         <input-metric-or-paint-file-name>
         <output-metric-or-paint-file-name>
         <algorithm>
         <input-volume-file-names>
         [-av  average-voxel-neighbor-cube-size (mm)]
         [-bf  brain-fish-max-distance
               brain-fish-splat factor]
         [-g   gaussian-neighbor-cube-size (mm)
               sigma-norm
               sigma-tang
               norm below cutoff (mm)
               norm above cutoff (mm)
               tang-cutoff (mm)]
         [-mv  maximum-voxel-neighbor-cube-size (mm)]
         [-sv  strongest-voxel-neighbor-cube-size (mm)]
         
         Map volume(s) to a surface metric or paint file.
         
         For successful mapping, both the surface and the volume
         must be in the same stereotaxic space.
         
         "algorithm" is one of:
            METRIC_AVERAGE_NODES
            METRIC_AVERAGE_VOXEL
            METRIC_ENCLOSING_VOXEL
            METRIC_GAUSSIAN
            METRIC_INTERPOLATED_VOXEL
            METRIC_MAXIMUM_VOXEL
            METRIC_MCW_BRAIN_FISH
            METRIC_STRONGEST_VOXEL
            PAINT_ENCLOSING_VOXEL
         
         If the input metric or paint file name is not an empty string
          (""), the newly create metric or paint columns will be 
         appended to the file and then written with the output file 
         name.
