Dear justin,

Could tell me how do I convert those non-bonded values between CHARMM and gromos431 ?

I am unaware of this conversion.

Thanks in advance.

Yes, you need to convert the units (CHARMM and Gromacs use different 
conventions), but otherwise those parameters can be used directly with CHARMM27 
or CHARMM36.
