I believe the command you are looking for is as.data.frame(), though you are
probably going to need as.double() rather soon as well.

Do note that data frames can, and often do, have character elements. 

Best,
Michael

Being new to R myself, I always get trapped by factors. Taking the data you 
have provided, this worked for my understanding of your intention:
> x <- rep( "0", 4 )
> x
[1] "0" "0" "0"
"0"
> df <- data.frame( matrix( x, 1 ), stringsAsFactors = FALSE )
> df
  X1 X2 X3 X4
1  0  0  0  0
> is.character( df[1,1] )
[1] TRUE

Rgds,
Rainer
