I have a coordinate system A
Example: 3 principal vector direction of system A are:
e0= [0.3898 -0.0910 0.9164]
e1= [0.6392 0.7431 -0.1981]
e2= [-0.6629 0.6630 0.3478]
And, I have a cartesian coordinate system B with three unit vector:
nx=[1 0 0];
ny=[0 1 0];
nz=[0 0 1]
How can i find transformation matrix C between two coordinate systems A & B ?

Your basis vectors forms already a rotation matrix that provides a direct transformation of the points in the basis A to the canonical basis (e.g. [1,0,0] in basis A corresponds to e0 in canonical coordinates).
A=[e0' e1' e2'];
Pcan=(A*P')';
or, using transpose rules
Pcan=P*A';
