Fire steel or fire strikers as they are often called are made up of carbon, ferrocerium alloys. They are often used in hunting and camping to start a fire. They are an alternative to a match, which will cause a spark to start a fire.

Who developed how to change steel to iron?

I don't think anybody wants to change steel to iron. However, changing iron to steel is done a lot because steels (of which there are many variants) have properties superior to iron. For example, manganese steel is what railway lines are made of and they are tough and not brittle, ideal for this purpose. Mild steel, which is very commonly used for 'iron' objects has some carbon in it which gives it good properties for everyday use. Stainless steel has chromium in it which gives it anti-rust properties.
