Re: 16:9 to 4:3 conversion
you crop the 4:3 section you want out of the 16:9 area by putting the 16:9 footage into a 4:3 timelaine, and cropping the sides off so that whats left is the desired 4:3 dimensions and framing. most NLES have a preset for doing this. then you can change your cropping .. more on one side.. less on the other.. as needed so that you have the framing you want.

Re: 16:9 to 4:3 conversion
Do you want the footage full screen or letterboxed? If it's full screen, Neil's suggestion should work fine.
For letterboxed 4:3, you won't have to crop your 16:9 footage, to have it within a 4:3 sequence.
Create a new 4:3 sequence, drop your clip into the sequence. Make sure, within the clip's item properties (right/cntrl + click), that the anamorphic option is checked. (dependent on if the anamorphic option was checked during capture)
Should work fine, without cropping, if you desire letterbox.
