Question

I need to deallocate and then allocate a pointer in the vector iterator . Is it Ok to assign a pointer to iterator as given below?

   VEC_SECS m_vec;
   m_vec.push_back(new CSecs);       
   VEC_SECS::iterator iter = m_vec.begin();

   for (iter ; iter != m_vec.end(); ++iter)
   {
          CSecs *p = *iter;
          delete p;         
          p = new CSecs;
          *iter = p;
   }

Yes, you do not assign pointer to iterator, you just ovewrite the element iterator points to. I take it your VEC_SECS is a vector of pointers, right?
