If you simply do an
    ALTER TABLE myTable MODIFY myColumn VARCHAR(255) CHARACTER SET utf8
the server will try to convert the data in the myColumn column from the 
server default character set to UTF-8.

You need to do a two-step conversion to avoid this:
 ALTER TABLE myTable MODIFY myColumn BINARY(255);
 ALTER TABLE myTable MODIFY myColumn VARCHAR(255) CHARACTER SET utf8;
