When you get the credit list, after you beat the elite four, i believe, but you haven’t WON the game untill you have “caught them all” (with help from leaf green …)

When you become gym leader……. or get all of the pokemon data into your pokedex.
After you beat Gary in the new Elite 4 and give Celio the Ruby and Sapphire plates at the Sevii Islands, you can pretty much consider the game beat aside from the Pokedex. You can do whatever you want afterwards.
I’m one of those people who consider a pokemon game never completely “beaten” until all side quests are completed, pokedex is filled, and a competitive battling team from that game is created.
I don’t think you are thinking of going that deep… In that case, I’d say you have “beaten” FireRed after you’ve beaten Elite 4 both rounds (the easy and hard rounds), filled the pokedex, and have completed all the side quests the game can offer (like Trainer Tower, Fame Checker, etc).
Obviously to truly beat the game you’d have to get other games yourself or link up with friends to fill the pokedex :p
