Default download a .csv file to Excel

I am downloading data from a web based data base and it delivers the file as
a *.csv file. When I open the file on my computer, the data in each cell is
in quotations ie: 'name' 'address' etc. How do I remove these quotation marks?

If you're not used to dealing with csv files, it's not something you
would immediately think of!
