Answer 1

    select right('000' + convert(varchar(3),id),3) from table

    example
    declare @i int
    select @i =1

select right('000' + convert(varchar(3),@i),3)

BTW if it is an int column then it will still not keep the zeros Just do it in the presentation layer or if you really need to in the SELECT
