Thanks to the two Gentlemen i have my answer. I am
posting it in case some newbie like me would need
advice while starting with R.

I am not sure how often it is conveyed but your help
is surely appreciated.

ANSWER:
df$yourColumn <- factor(df$yourColumn)

Thanks to: James Holtman & Peter Alspach

ps: i cant believe it was that simple!

I believe in equality for everyone, except reporters and photographers.
