If the cheetah needs to kill the lion, it can if it has a strong enough will. In the mating season, females will kill the lion to protect the cubs. If it's a male, it will kill the lion in order to protect the territory.

No, cheetahs are not built for strength but more for speed. A cheetah could not kill an adult lion but the reverse often happens to the unfortunate cheetah.

Who would win a cheeda or a lion?

In a race, a cheetah would obviously win, but in nature animals don't usually race, and if a cheetah were trying to outrun a lion to escape, a lion has more endurance and thus may be able to catch up to the cheetah. In a fight where the cheetah is unable to flee, lions usually win and kill the cheetah. However, there are definitely exceptions to the rule. As shown on an episode of Animal Planet's series "Big Cat Diaries," a mother cheetah was with her cubs when a lion came. The cheetah stood her ground as the lion approached, and then she charged the lion. The lion ran away, and none of the cheetah family were harmed.
