if szMessage was 'abc'
and i wanted to push a certain character from that string

Or you can do something like this:

Code:

    mov   ecx, 0; or any character wanted.
    mov   al, [szMessage + ecx] ;get first character, position 0.
    ;this method allows you to loop though the characters.

You did say push, so:

Code:

    mov   ecx, 2; or any character wanted
    mov   al, [szMessage + ecx] ;get third character, position 2.
    push  eax  ;ALWAYS, push a DWORD sized value on the stack.
    pop   eax ;restores char in AL. and also preserves AH
    ;this method also allows you to loop though the characters
