or if you want it in the one query:
>create table _t(f varchar(50));
select f, case when substr(f, length(f), 1)= substr(f, length(f)-1, 1) then regexp_replace(f, substr(f, length(f), 1)||'+$', substr(f, length(f), 1)) else f end from _t where length(f)>1;

write a stored proc. within this proc: (oversimplified)
- calculate the length of the string with length() -> length
- extract substring(string, length, length) -> last_char
- regexp_replace(string, last_char||'*$', last_char)
