You need to researching using a SQLConnection and SQLCommand. You setup a connection string for your SQLConnection, set the SQLCommand.CommandText and then add any SQLParameters if necessary. There is a lot to do so you need to get started and then ask something more specific if you have issues.

Good answer. Just a small addition, though: In order for the sql statements quoted (ALTER), you will just need to ensure that the credentials used in your SQLConnection have sufficient privileges in the database to run the statement.
