Steffen:
Here is one way to do it. It assumes the presence of a semicolon to
identify the two parts.
tstrings = {"06:42", "12:30", "1:22", "13:45"};
In[57]:=
convert[t_String] := (t //
Characters) /. {{a__, ":",
b__} :> (ToExpression[StringJoin[#]] & /@ {{a}, {b}})}
In[58]:=
convert /@ tstrings
Out[58]=
{{6, 42}, {12, 30}, {1, 22}, {13, 45}}
