How to compute p-value

I'd like to compute the p-value for a certain distribution.
Let's say i have the following:
val = cdf ('chi2', spot, 99)
which allows me to simply check what cdf we have
accumulated in the point of spot.

Now, i wish to go the other way around and given the value
of val, get the corresponding value of spot.

As we're at it - is there a nice way of obtaining the
confidence interval (provided the data above)?
