Answering your specific question:

Python 2.5.1 (r251:54863, Mar 31 2008, 11:09:52)
[GCC 3.4.6 20060404 (Red Hat 3.4.6-9)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> s = 'hello'
>>> l = list(s)
>>> l
['h', 'e', 'l', 'l', 'o']
>>>

But more generally, you might want to read up on the string methods
available to you, such as replace():
