lambda = 2;
x = -log(rand(1,1000000)/lambda)
x will be exponentially distributed. See, for example, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exponential_distribution#Generating_exponential_variates

Theoretically, one can invert the Cumulative Distribution Function and then plug uniform random numbers into that. Inverting the CDF is not always easy to accomplish, however.

+1 to what James just wrote. If you search "generate random variate", you will find plenty to read. The book (remember those?) "Numerical Recipes" has a digestible discussion of the topic.
