[R] converting a table to a dataframe or a matrix

[markleeds at verizon.net]

can someone show me how to convert a table to a data.frame or a matrix ? 
I tried below and as.data.frame rearranges the columns
similarly to a melt from reshape and as.matrix didn't change it. I 
actually would prefer to change it to a dataframe but if someone
can show me how to convert it to a matrix,  then as.data.frame will work 
on that. I was thinking about just changing the class to matrix
since table looks very similar to a matrix but I wasn't sure if that 
would cause side injuries.  thanks.
