Rename column SQL Server 2008

Use sp_rename

EXEC sp_RENAME 'TableName.OldColumnName' , 'NewColumnName', 'COLUMN'

See: SQL SERVER – How to Rename a Column Name or Table Name

Documentation: sp_rename (Transact-SQL)

For your case it would be:

EXEC sp_RENAME 'table_name.old_name', 'new_name', 'COLUMN'

Remember to use single quotes to enclose your values.
