If you plead not guilty to a crime of which you are charged does that mean you have to go to trial?
Not necessarily. The Prosecution could offer a plea-bargain in which case a more lenient sentence will be given for a lesser guilty plea. Barring that, the Bill of Rights gives every American the right of either a Bench-Trial (where the Judge will preside as Judge/Jury) or a Jury-Trial. Unless the charges are dismissed during the Arraignment or Pre-Trial, yes, pleading not-guilty to a crime of which you are charged will result in some kind of trial proceeding.

Is character assassination legal?
The Defendant's character in and of itself is not on trial during a criminal proceeding. Whether or not the defendant is kind of a jerk or known for being dishonest is not evidence that he committed the crime at question, and is generally inadmissible. However, the defendant may open the door for the prosecution to introduce evidence of his bad character. For example, if the defendant is charged with embezzling funds, and the defendant introduces character evidence to show that he is a generally honest person, the prosecution may then rebut that evidence by introducing evidence that the defendant is a liar.

What does pleaded guilty mean?
If you have been arrested by the police because they think you have committed a crime, the next thing that happens is that you are brought to court for trial. When you come into court the charges against you are read out and you are given the opportunity to say that either you did not do the things you are accused of (a plea of not guilty) or that you agree that you did what you are accused of (a plea of guilty). If you plead guilty then there is no trial and the court will decide the punishment you deserve immediately. If you plead not guilt, a trial will be held and a jury will be appointed to hear both sides of the argument and decide if they think you are or are not guilty. If they decide you are guilty you will be punished.
