Cast spell & Charge in same round?

Nope. Both casting a spell and charging are standard actions. The exception to this would be haste and spells with the Quicken feat applied to them.
 

I had my doubts, but Trine is right. From the SRD:

Charge [Full][AoO: Yes]

Description: The combatant must move before attacking, not after. The combatant must move at least 10 feet and may move up to double base speed. All movement must be in a straight line, with no backing up allowed. The charge stops as soon as the combatant threatens the target. A combatant can't run past the target and attack from another direction.

After moving, the combatant may make a single melee attack or a bull rush. The combatant gets a +2 bonus on the attack roll. The combatant also suffers a -2 penalty to AC for 1 round.

Since casting a spell isn't a melee attack or a bull rush, can't do it.
 

Remember that you can cast a touch-range spell, move, and make the touch attack all in one round.

It's not cast-and-charge, and it only applies to a limited subset of spells, but it's the closest we've got to what you're asking for :)

Heh. I think I may have completely misunderstood what the original poster was asking. I thought Emirikol was asking whether you could cast a spell (say fireball), then do a charge attack.

I figured that was likely what he was asking, but just in case I was wrong, I posted the bit about cast-move-touch.
