You probably have to use the WP_Rewrite class. There should be lots of tutorials on the web. I'd love to give a go at your case but can't right now — kjetilh

In order to achieve that you first need to register your category with the custom post type and then you can assign categories and have the desired result. Use register_taxonomy_for_object_type(); in order to assign category taxonomy to your custom post type. You can get an example here : http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/register_taxonomy_for_object_type
