Is this what you want (but with 100 instead of 10)?

In[1]:= t = Table[Random[Integer,{1,3}],{10}]

Out[1]= {2,1,1,2,1,3,3,2,1,2}

In[2]:= s = Table[#==j&/@t,{j,3}]

Out[2]= {{False,True,True,False,True,False,False,False,True,False},
         {True,False,False,True,False,False,False,True,False,True},
         {False,False,False,False,False,True,True,False,False,False}}

You could also do this:

In[3]:= sa = SparseArray[Thread[Flatten[Table[{j,#}&/@
             Flatten@Position[t,j],{j,3}],1]->True],{3,10},False]

Out[3]= SparseArray[<10>,{3,10},False]

In[4]:= sa == s

Out[4]= True
