Default insert zeros in front of cells already filled with data.

Two ways. If all cells should be the same length, like a check number or an
account number, it's called "leading zeroes":

If you just want to put 3 zeroes in front of other text, you can use another
column to create a formula:
="000"&a1
will give you the contents of A1 preceded by 3 zeroes.
