Hello gunesinal and welcome to the site.

The problem is that you are changing a character field to a numeric field so if it is blank you will have a 0.  If you want to keep it as blank that is not possible, the only way to keep it as a blank is by keeping it as a character.  Why are you changing it to numeric?  There might be another way to do this if I know what you are trying to accomplish with this.
