Two alternatives, actually:
. Activate a suitable input method ("C-\" or "C-u C-\"). "C-h C-\"
will show help on how to use an input method to type accented
characters.
. Load iso-transl, and then use the ALT modifier (if it exists) or
"C-x 8" together with an accent character to modify the following
letter. "C-x 8 C-h" will list all available translations. This
works for Latin-1 only, but that seems to be your case.

Wrong search string, the package's name is iso-acc:
*** iso-acc.el is now obsolete. Use one of the latin input methods instead.
