Is that MS SQL Server?
I would use sp_rename...

No, you're never too old to Yak'n'Roll if you're too young to die.

you can use sp_rename to rename column also

it will be like

EXEC sp_rename 'Tablename.currentcolumnname', 'Newcolumnname', 'COLUMN';

In any case please make sure you do an impact analysis to see dependent objects before you apply the change so that you can reflect changes in all the required places
