I don't think you can convert WMA to anything. It's a terminal format, in my experience.

There are some converters going from wma to mp3 and back. You just have to spend a little time with google and try them out.

Here are a couple I found in a quick search:

http://www.wma-mp3-converter.com This one is pretty easy to work with and allows you to keep the ID3 tags as well. I haven't used the others but am reading up on them now.

By searching through the links that reshcke gave, I was able to find a help site that lists all programs able to convert .wmas into .mp3s and to bypass the copy written music put on by microsoft.
