You should have a string variable, do simply like below

Dim s As String
s = "test"
s = s.Substring(0, 1)


and you will get the first letter of any string.

if you need in a char, do this
Dim c As Char
c = Convert.ToChar( s)

You can also treat a string just like char array and address it by index to get a single char.
[code=vbnet]
Dim s as string
Dim c as char
s="Test"
c=s(0)
[/code]
