is that string or numbers ?

if it is string just simple

select '''' + string_column + '''' from yourtable

if it is numbers, you will have to convert to string frist

select '''' + convert(varchar(10), numbers_column) + '''' from yourtable

nope. you've to write one

SELECT '''' + CAST(Column AS varchar(100)) + '''' FROM table

in case column is already of character type, you can dispense with the CAST part

khtan and visakh it worked like charm.But i did this one in excel
by following this steps :
1) copied all rows in Excel column and beside columns i gave " quotes on both sides.

then copied in mssql and written LTRIM and RTRIM but your query is so accurate.I will use this one
