I'm a little surprised. With a standard Axes plot it does not seem possible
to get the zero ticks labeled.

Plot[1 - x^2, {x, 0, 1}];

Extending the lower plot range and even explicitly labeling the ticks still
does not work.

Plot[1 - x^2, {x, 0, 1},
    Ticks -> {Table[{i, i}, {i, 0, 1, 0.2}], Table[{i, i}, {i, 0, 1, 0.2}]},
    PlotRange -> {{-0.05, 1}, {-0.05, 1}}];

But using a Frame (which is generally better anyway) and extending the lower
plot range will label the zero points.

Plot[1 - x^2, {x, 0, 1},
    Frame -> True,
    PlotRange -> {{-0.01, 1}, {-0.01, 1}}];

If you don't want to show the entire Frame you can use...

Plot[1 - x^2, {x, 0, 1},
    Frame -> {True, True, False, False},
    PlotRange -> {{-0.01, 1}, {-0.01, 1}}];

In a 2-dimensional plot, Mathematica typically does not label the
origin. I would like X=0 to be labeled as "0." Is this possible?
