Well, there are a lot of ways, but I would recommend these 2:
1 - You can do it manually, but that might take a while depending on the size of your music. Assuming that you know how to read guitar tabs, here is a guitar fretboard that shows all the notes on a guitar:

All you have to do is match up the numbers of your guitar tabs to this picture and it will give you the note.
2 - Or you could use a program called Power Tab Editor. In this program you would copy your guitar tabs and it will transform it into note form on a staff - piano music.
The program is free and you can download it here:

It is very popular with guitar players around the world and very easy to use.
Hope these help.
Good luck!
get a copy of a guitar fret board with the notes on it. any beginner guitar website should have this. at least this will tell you name of the notes. play around with the pitch and the length of the note and you should be able to get it to sound right. if you buy the official tab book for the artist you want usually it will have the sheet music included. hope this helps.
