Create a new column

alter <tablename> add column <newcolname> varchar(25);

Then copy the old column into the new column:
update <tablename> set <newcolname> = <oldcolname>;

Drop the last column:
alter <tablename> drop column <oldcolname>;

Rename the column:
alter <tablename> rename column <newcolname> to <oldcolname>;

Take care for INDEXES if there are any.

This should do it.

Best regards.
