The question, as stated, cannot be answered sensibly. A kilogram is a measure of mass, with dimensions [M]. A Newton is a measure of force, with dimensions [MLT-2]. The two measure different things and basic dimensional analysis teaches that you cannot convert between measures with different dimensions such as these without additional information.

The force associated with a mass of 10 kg could be its weight, in which case the 10 kg mass needs to be multipied by the accelaration due to gravity. This varies over the surface of the earth but is generally taken to be 9.8 metres per second2. Using that value, the weight of a 10 kg mass would be 98 Newtons.
