Author how to modify column names through TSql

Hi,

I need to just change the case of some letters in a column of a table,
e.g. from PURCHASE_ORDER to Purchase_Order and I can do it easily through
EM.
Works well and preserves all the data in tact.

Is it possible to do the same through a query, or some script so that an end
user won't go to EM and do this manually but rather could run a script.

Essentially I am looking for some command like

alter table AAAA alter column PURCHASE_ORDER [to new column name
Purchase_Order] or something like that.

Thank you

Vadim
