You would use assign in a situation where you might have a scan let's  
say that you know is in the Adobe1998 color space but when the file  
comes into Photoshop it isn't tagged with a profile so knowing what  
color space the file is in you assign Adobe1998 to the file in  
Photoshop.

You would use convert to profile when you are taking an image that is  
in one color space and wish to change it to another color space.
