Not easily. How many records are we talking about, what DB, and how many fields do you need to change the type of? If this is on a system you can use DDL on? this is really an ALTER thing.

Is there a logic to the data you want to change? at that size you could stream everything out and back in - but this still sounds rough. DDL is the way to go if you can.
