You should be able to use the CONCAT to add a day on the end, such as 1 and then convert it to a date. Like this:

DATE(CONCAT(datefield,'-01'))

On your input dataset you can go to the configuration tab, find your field and then change it to Date data type. If you click the gear next to the field you'll then see a Date settings submenu. Go into that and you can set your date format there: %Y-%m
