carry addition in a binary number

I have a number which is in 2's complement form, i wanted to make it in general binary form. So please tell me is there any direct function available for the same?
Or please tell me how can i add carry 1 in the first bit and consecutively in the upcoming bits also. if i have a binary vector: 1 0 0 1 1 1 and i have to add 1 as a carry then my answer will be 1 0 1 0 0 0. but how can get this in MATLAB.
Thanks in adavnce

It is unclear what you really want. How is your current number stored? As one of the integer classes? In a floating point class? In a string or char class? Where did these digits come from? How many "bits" wide (i.e., where is the sign bit)? Etc ...?
And what exactly do you want as a result? Can you provide an explicit example of input and output for us?

v='100111'
w=dec2bin(bin2dec(v)+1)

This does not work if the binary numbers are in the matrix form and not a character form.
