Default leading zero & .csv files

I have an exported .csv file which one of the fields has leading zero. I
know that when I open the file the zero disappear. I have to open the file
to edit another field with the correct info. When I do this I lose the
leading zero, because I have to re-import this file. It can only be imported
as a .csv file. I know how to use format - style - custom - click on the
zero - add the correct number of zero. I get the right number 001 instead of
1. I had saved the csv as a .xls made the charges using the format - style -
etc. Then I saved it as .csv and didn't open the file and tried to import
and got the error. I open the file with notepad and it show correctly. I
tried to manually edit the file in notepad but this didn't help. Actually I
was using search and replace in note pad. How can I make the leading zero
stays? And yes I have to open the file to correct a different field after I
have exported the file to .csv.
