The charge stored within a capacitor gives rise to the voltage across it.
If you put an external load on a charged capacitor the voltage will cause a
current to flow in the load.  The loss of stored charge causes the voltage to
drop.

Maybe you are thinking of constant current source rather than constant voltage
source ?   The capacitor is neiter of these of course !
