Ada.Unchecked_Conversion is your friend.

But make sure you need that, instead of basic stream I/O e.g.

with Ada.Streams.Stream_IO; use Ada.Streams.Stream_IO;

procedure Strstr is
   F : File_Type;
   S3 : String (1 .. 3);
begin
   Create (F);
   String'Write (Stream (F), "abc");
   Reset (F);
   S3 :=3D "***";
   Set_Mode (F, In_File);
   String'Read (Stream (F), S3);
   pragma Assert (S3 =3D "abc");
end;
