errr.... I remember a function c_str()

string tempstring = "hiiohei";
char tempchar[20];
strcpy( tempchar, tempstring.c_str() );

just remember to check if the string is short enough
or use 

int CHAR_LENGHT;
string tempstring = "hiiohei";
char tempchar[CHAR_LENGHT+1];
strncpy( tempchar, tempstring.c_str(), CHAR_LENGHT );
tempchar[CHAR_LENGHT] = '\0';

or check string size with function size();
