_______________
ree 9954452344
yeew 8943234894

if datatype of mobileno is character (like varchar):
select
name,
'0' + mobileno
from table

What is about mobileno's that have already a leading zero?

SELECT name, '0' + CAST(mobileno AS VARHCAR(10)) AS mobileno

RTRIM((REPLICATE('0',11) + CONVERT(varchar(11),mobileno)),11)

The sql prefix is used to create a valid XML ID, IDREF, or IDREFS attribute. Also The values of ID type must be distinct in an XML document.
