Is there a simple way of altering the definition of a column?

Say I have a column defined as CHAR(5) and I want to make that CHAR(10) NOT NULL - apart from creating a second table and copying the table, dropping the original and renaming the copy.

What I am hoping for is 'yes, V8 has ALTER TABLE MODIFY (colName     definition) '  ;-)
