What do you mean by alter the data? Do you want to update the data or modify the table structure by changing/adding the column.

The UPDATE statement is used to update existing records in a table.

SQL UPDATE Syntax

UPDATE table_name
SET column1=value1,column2=value2,...
WHERE some_column=some_value;
