You will need mod_rewrite enabled for this

from: http://example.com/123 to: http://example.com/index.php?q=123

RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^/?([-A-Za-z0-9]+)/?$ index.php?q=$1 [QSA,L]

You will need mod_rewrite enabled for this. Start with placing these lines into .htaccess:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

TBH I'm not 100% sure what do you mean exactly by permalink and how do you want to redirect, so I will provide 2 variants for each URL: rewrite (internal redirect) and redirect (301 Permanent Redirect).

1. This will rewrite (internal redirect) request for http://example.com/examp to http://example.com/examp.php while URL will remain unchanged in browser:

RewriteRule ^examp$ examp.php [L]

2. This will do the same as above but with proper redirect (301 Permanent Redirect) when URL will change in browser:

RewriteRule ^examp$ http://example.com/examp.php [R=301,L]

3. This will rewrite (internal redirect) request for http://example.com/examp to http://example.com/user.php?u=examp while URL will remain unchanged in browser:

RewriteRule ^examp$ user.php?u=examp [QSA,L]

4. This will do the same as above but with proper redirect (301 Permanent Redirect) when URL will change in browser:

RewriteRule ^examp$ http://example.com/user.php?u=examp [QSA,R=301,L]

You'll want to look at RewriteRules and know/understand regular expressions. It'll be something like this:

    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteRule ^(.*)\/examp$ /examp.php [R=301,L]
    - and - 
    RewriteRule ^(.*)\/[a-zA-Z0-9\-\_\.]+$ /user.php?u=$1 [R=301,L]

The latter example will take what's in-between the [] and place it in the $1 variable
