Here this is from Oracle FAQ:
http://www.orafaq.org/faqsql.htm

Can one rename a column in a table?
No, this is listed as Enhancement Request 163519. Workarounds:
1. rename t1 to t1_base;
create view t1 <column list with new name> as select * from t1_base;

2. create table t2 <column list with new name> as select * from t1;
drop table t1;
rename t2 to t1;
