As far as I can tell, you can not. This is not a valid number. You'll have to modify column's data type to VARCHAR2.

No, but you could create a check constraint which would take care about the correct data format. Regular expressions might be handy in this case (you'd use REGEXP_LIKE with the appropriate format mask).
