char *a="a.s"
is constant, you cannot change it.
Code:

char dest[24]={0x0};
char src[24]={0x0};
char *p=NULL, *q=NULL;


for(p=src,q=dest; *p; p++)
{
     if(*p=='a')
     {
          strcpy(q,"ant");
          q=strchr(q,'\0');
          continue;
     }
     if(*p=='s')
     {
          strcpy(q,"sree")
          q=strchr(q,'\0');
          
      }
     else
         *q++ = *p;
     
}
printf("%s\n", dest);
