I presume you want to delete the zero both in the hours and in the minutes,
when they are less than 10, right? Suppose, then, you read the string in the
format hh:mm.
The following function will do what you want:
In[1]:=
makeNumbers[x_String] :=
ToExpression[{If[StringTake[x, 1] == "0", StringTake[x, {2}],
StringTake[x, 2]],
If[StringTake[x, 3] == "0", StringTake[x, {-2}], StringTake[x, -2]]}]
In[2]:=
makeNumbers["06:42"]
Out[2]=
{6, 42}
In[3]:=
makeNumbers["12:28"]
Out[3]=
{12, 28}
In[4]:=
makeNumbers["12:03"]
Out[4]=
{12, 3}
