In the standard harmonic minor scale, the semitones occur between the 2nd and 3rd notes of the scale, whilst in the major scale, the semitones occur between the 3rd and 4th notes, and the 7th and 8th notes.
You notes in the A minor chord are A, C, and E. Simply transpose your C one step higher to a C#, and you have an A major! Most chords are easily transposed from major to minor, or visa versa, with a transposition of one note. However, this is for the piano, you didn't specify which instrument =)
