The only way to do it, if you can't modify one of the objects, is to
allocate a matrix of this kind:

int matrix_int[5][5] = {
   {matrix[0][0], matrix[0][1], // ... and so on

but you have to create a new object, it is possible only if you know that
your matrix is small (5x5 makes cheap the job, for a 100x100 I'd think a
better solution). Obviously you can allocate an empty object and then
populate it with a for, treating the char matrix as a vector; if you
accept this solution, I suggest you create a proxy function (for instance
void show_char_matrix (...)) which allocate the matrix_int object and then
call show_matrix.

Hope I helped
