Unfortunately, to get quotes you need to actually embed them in the file,
save it as a text file, and then rename it to a csv.

If your example numbers are in row 1, in columns A-E, then in F1 use the
formula:

=""""&A1&""","&""""&B1&""","&""""&C1&""","&""""&D1 &""","&""""&E1&""""

copy it down as far as you need, then select all the formulas, press Ctrl-C
to copy them, then Edit-Paste Special-Values to replace the formulas with
the results. Then delete columns A-E and save the file as text
