Conversion of numeric vector to date

I have a dataframe with a date column like the following:

19870703
19920929
20051015
20030613

How can I change the numeric Data to a Date format like %Y%m%d? Neither as.date() nor as.POSIX.ct() works?

Using lubridate 

date <- ymd("19870703")

in place of date you can put your column name

as.Date("19870703", "%Y%m%d")
[1] "1987-07-03"

Apply for entire column.
