The first day of this month can be expressed as 

echo date('Y-m-01');

You can then extract further information from this if you require, for example the day of the week:

$month = '10';
$year  = '2012';
echo date('D', strtotime("{$year}-{$month}-01"));

I hope it works:

echo date("j", strtotime('FIRST DAY OF $month $year'));
