Hi Crew,

   </Pen>
Target Structure:

                  <no>1</no>
                  <name>colour</name>
                  <value>Red</value>
           </character>
           <character>
                  <no>2</no>
                  <name>company</name>
                  <value>Parker</value>
           </character>
           <character>
                  <no>3</no>

Karthik,
First let me confirm your structure.
Source
<Pen> 0..Unbounded
<color/>
<company/>
<type/>
</Pen>
Target
<Pen>0..Unbounded
<character>0..Unbounded
<no/>
<name/>
<value/>
</character>
</Pen>
If you think i'm correct, then proceed with below logic.
In Mapping editor Right click on <character> and click duplicate sub-tree three times.
Now  follow the logic.
Pen -
>Pen.
character(1 occurrence)
Constant[1] -
> no
Constant[colour]----->name
colour -
> value
Character(2 occurrence)
Constant[2] -
>no
Constant[Company]----name
company---->value.
Character(3 occurrence)
Constant[3]---->no
Constant[Type]---->name
type--->value.
Hope it helps!!!!
