Try this:

    void convert(s)
         char s[3];
    {
         int value;

         value = ((s[0] - '0') * 100) + ((s[1] - '0') * 10) + (s[2] - '0');
         s[0] = value / 256;
         s[1] = value % 256; 
         s[2] = 0;
    }

This assumes that the input will always be in the range '000' to '999'.
