Why would you want to do this?

If you want to be able to edit the letterforms, use a good illustration 
program. On the PC, Corel Draw! has for a long time been able to do this, 
and still is possibly the most adept.
On a Mac, the new Illustrator (3.0) can also convert Type1 fonts into 
editable outlines. 
Perhapos if you could tell us why you want Type3 from Type1, I could give 
you a better answer.
