One way to do this would be StringDrop[ToString[.5],1] which could be used to label ticks in a plot as follows:

Plot[x, {x, 0, 1}, 
   Frame -> True, Axes -> None, FrameTicks -> 
    {{#, StringDrop[ToString@#, 1]}&/@Range[0.1, 0.9, 0.2], 
     {#, StringDrop[ToString@#, 1]}&/@Range[0.1, 0.9, 0.2],  
     None, None}];
