a = "First"
b = a[2] //does this not the value "r" to b ?

does this work on numerical values?
Can I grab more than one at a time?

I am working on a project that will output a 16 bit hex value to some hardware. But I must only send 8 bits(one half of the total 16 bits) to two separate ports. how can I do this.

Assuming "b" is of an appropriate type, yes, "b" will attain the numerical representation of the corresponding ASCII character 'r'.

No, unless the numerical value is represented by a string.

In what way?

You need assembly to send/retrieve information to/from ports. We need more information about what tools you're using.

lets say some hex value
0x527E
i want to send the half[52] to port1 and the other[7E] to port2

I don't know what port1 or port2 are. As for sending the values, you'd have to send them the following way:

IN Port1, 0x52
IN Port2, 0x7E
