You can't "kill" the king with any piece. The king is the one piece that cannot be taken. The game is won when the king is in check and cannot move.
In that context, yes you can checkmate the enemy king with a pawn. How this is done depends on the position, but it's usually accomplished with the other surrounding pieces blocking the king's escape path.
According to the rules of Chess, you cannot move your own king into the check position.

Can a king kill a pawn?
Yes. A pawn may checkmate a king in the right situation. Note, however, that technically speaking a king is never "killed" but is checkmated. The game is over before the pawn actually captures or "kills" the king.
Can a pawn capture a king?
Yes, a pawn may capture any piece on the board as long as it is a legal move. One way it could happen is the pawn is blocking lets say a Bishop or a Rook from attacking the opponent's king. The pawn moves to a square where it attacks the Queen. Normally the Queen would either just capture the pawn or move away from it. But if the move of the pawn now places the king in check from that Bishop or Rook (this is called a discovered check) the King must move out of check. If the player now in check has no alternative but to move the King out of check, then once he moves the king, the pawn is free to capture the Queen.
How do you use a pawn to checkmate a king in chess?
The pawn can checkmate the king but only in conjunction with at least one other piece to protect the pawn from capture by the king and at least one enemy piece placed near the king so that it cuts off any escape avenues the king would have. If a pawn places a king in check and the king is completely surrounded by his own pieces in such a way that its only move would be capture the pawn and if no enemy piece is placed so that it can capture that pawn and if the pawn is protected from capture by one of its own pieces, the pawn has checkmated the king.
