Default Truncating read-in data

Ok, two quick questions.

I'm going to read in data from, let's say cells(9,3).Value
where row 9 col 3 contains a customer number that looks like this

1234567ABC

Hovever, the actual customer number I need for everyday use looks like this
01234567

I've declared my variable like this
dim ColumnC As String

First, I have to truncate that value to just the numbers
1234567
That's my first question. How do I do that?

Second, I need to add the Zero on the front.
I think I do would do it like this:

ColumnC = "0" + ColumnC

Is that right?
And, can I do both steps in one function?
