Not all EOS cameras have a temp sensor. The 350D doesn't and I'm not sure about the 450D but subsequent ones seem to.

You get the data from the EXIF data and I use a tool exiftool to get it although most imaging programs have the ability to tell you the information stored with each file. In Maxim, for example, I can open my RAW files and go to the FITS Header Menu item and it lists the sensor temperature.
