Get the terrain node's mesh (TerrainSceneNode class). Make an ITriangleSelector (in the SceneManager class, maybe an octtree one) from that mesh. If the user clicks, find a ray by using getRayFromScreenCoordinates (CollisionManager class). Get the collision point using the getCollisionPoint function (CollisionManager class). Set the entity's position to the vector3df that you specified.

But don't take my word for it, I'm a noob, haha.
