Actually neither mass gets converted to energy nor energy gets converted to mass. Both are equivalent to each other. If you have some energy E, then you also have mass E/c^2. Similarly, if you have mass m, you have energy mc^2. So, when a high energy gamma photon converts to an electron and a positron in the presence of a nucleus, some books wrongly say that energy has got converted to matter. The right thing is: Total energy of the gamma photon, E= h nu has mass h nu/c^2 and is equal to 2 m c^2/sqrt(1-v^2/c^2) where m is the rest mass of the electron, and v is the speed of electron (positron) in the rest frame of the nucleus.
