This creates a 1x4 cell array
Array = [0, 1,3,0];
A = num2cell(Array);
C = cellfun(@num2str,A,'UniformOutput',false)
C = 1x4 cell array
{'0'} {'1'} {'3'} {'0'}

Rather than creating a cell array containing char vectors, why not create a string array?
x = [0 1 3 0];
s = string(x)
s = 1×4 string array
"0" "1" "3" "0"
three = s(3)
three = "3"
threeChar = s{3}
threeChar = '3'
whos
Name Size Bytes Class Attributes s 1x4 312 string three 1x1 150 string threeChar 1x1 2 char x 1x4 32 double
I'm not 100% sure that indexing with curly braces to create a char vector was supported in release R2018b but if it wasn't calling char on the string array would work.
