Here is one way of doing it:
> x <- as.POSIXct("2005-09-01")
> x
[1] "2005-09-01 GMT"
> x.lt <- as.POSIXlt(x)
> x$mon+1
> x.lt$mon+1
[1] 9
> x.lt$year+1900
[1] 2005
> dput(x.lt)
structure(list(sec = 0, min = 0L, hour = 0L, mday = 1L, mon = 8L,
year = 105L, wday = 4L, yday = 243L, isdst = 0L), .Names = c("sec",
"min", "hour", "mday", "mon", "year", "wday", "yday", "isdst"
), class = c("POSIXt", "POSIXlt"), tzone = "GMT")
> x.lt$mday
[1] 1
