This is interesting,

Newman and the collection runner are behaving differently. I have raised a bug on postman for this :

https://github.com/postmanlabs/postman-app-support/issues/8024#issue-562149355

So coming to your question :

To run from collection runner wrap double-quotes between double quotes:

user,pass
"""something""","""something"""

To run from newman, escape double-quotes using blackslash:

user,pass
"\"something\"","\"something\""           //here the outer double quotes tell the parser that its a string , and inside we write \" to escape it.
