'and' shd have been declared as char... not a String .. since name.charAt(i)
is a char .. See fixed code below:

public class Backward {

    /**
     * @param args
     */
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub

        Scanner in=new Scanner(System.in);
        System.out.print("Enter a Name to Reverse:");
        String name = in.next();
        char and;
        String ans ="";
        int l=name.length();
        int i;
        for (i=l-1; i>=0; i--)
        {
            and=name.charAt(i);
            ans= ans+and;
        }
        System.out.println("The Output is:" + ans);

    }

}
