Susana,

Well, a lot depends on how you want to do the process.  If you vectors are
polygons and you just want to burn them into a raster with particular values
then you could use the gdal_rasterize program or the functions that underly
it.  However if you want fancier rendering you should be looking at a
map rendering system such as MapServer.
