I think what you are looking for is:
$stringa = get_the_content();

A:
The functions the_content() and get_the_content() are meant to be used inside the WordPress loop, which means you can't just use them at will. You'll need to build a loop inside your header.php file that queries the WordPress database, fetches some content, and uses it as necessary.
Basically, wrap your the_content() call inside:
<?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
...
<?php endwhile; endif; ?>
Then you'll be able to fetch post content anywhere on the page ... however, I don't quite understand why you're trying to get the post content inside the <head> section of the page. <head> is used for style declarations, <script> tags, and meta information about the page ... not for actual page content. If you're trying to get specific information about the current page, I'd recommend using a different function entirely.
