To directly answer your Subject line:
set aString to "Hello World"
set aList to every character of aString
--
--> {"H", "e", "l", "l", "o", " ", "W", "o", "r", "l", "d"}

Now that would be funny!!! ;-)

set str to "The quick brown fox"
-- Method 1
--
repeat with x from 1 to length of str
set oneChar to character x of str
if ( oneChar = "T" ) then
-- stuff
else if ( oneChar = "h" ) then
-- stuff
-- Method 2
--
repeat with oneChar in str
( oneChar = "q" ) --> ALWAYS false, oneChar is a reference
( oneChar's contents = "q" ) --> true or false
set oneChar to oneChar's contents --> dereference
( oneChar = "q" ) --> true or false
