We can't answer that: it depends on what value you have in your integer: is it a number of days since a point in time, and what point, SQL time ticks, or what.

So get Google, or Bing if you must, and start looking.
We are not here to do your research for you.

That's just stupid - how are you supposed to do your job without online searches, particularly in a world where the manual for everything is only available online? Complain and explain that you need it!
Anyway - you don;t want to convert the number to a DATE - SQL includes a function to add a number of days to an existing date, so do this:
DATEADD(dd, NUMBEROFDAYS, GETDATE())
It adds the number of days to the current date and returns a DATETIME value.
I don't know if you can get here:
http://www.w3schools.com/sql/func_dateadd.asp
but if you can it's a good reference for SQL.
