It could be the version problem .
Are you sure your version is 9.2 ?

You cannot rename column directly. You can do it the way described in this example (the registration is free):
(http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/A87860_01/doc/server.817/a85397/state17e.htm#2064978)

Example
Rename a Database Object Example
To change the name of table dept to emp_dept, issue the following statement:

RENAME dept TO emp_dept;

You cannot use this statement directly to rename columns. However, you can rename a column using this statement together with the CREATE TABLE statement with AS subquery. The following statements re-create the table static, renaming a column from oldname to newname:

CREATE TABLE temporary (newname, col2, col3)
AS SELECT oldname, col2, col3 FROM static;

DROP TABLE static;

RENAME temporary TO static;

Your error ORA-14155 is because Oracle "thinks" COLUMN ought to be PARTITION or SUBRARTITION - see this example:
(http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/A87860_01/doc/server.817/a85397/statem2a.htm#2057289)
ALTER TABLE employee RENAME PARTITION emp3 TO employee3;
