[R] smart way to turn a vector into a matrix

[anna]

so now the problem is that my real matrix is a data.frame.. The first column
is character, second dates and third numeric. What I did is I converted the
data frame into a matrix with data.matrix() but it converts my characters
and dates in integers. Any idea of how I could handle this?
