The OP asked for a result of 6.25e-01, so I presume he meant to write
that the original number was 0.0625, not 0.25.
However, NONE of the proffered solutions below produces the desired "e"
format he requested in this case. Nor does the method illustrated in
the documentation:
NumberForm[0.0625, NumberFormat -> (SequenceForm[#1, "e", #3] &)]
