No, unless you do morally questionable updates to the dictionary.
Alternative :
Suppose that you have table T(C1, C2, C3) and want to rename C2 to D.
rename T to T_back;
create table T as select C1, C2 D, C3 from T_back;
drop table T_back;
Beware that by doing so all grants on T will have to be recreated.
