Do you mean changing field type ?
If yes, right click on field --> Configure Dictionary --> change Type field to "String"

[Anurag Tripathi]

if you change the type of a dictionary toy will existing loose data in the column

Its the Field Type, I have tried to amend it but I only get Integer and Long as the options.

One option is to create a new field, migrate the information from the original field to the new one, then deprecate or delete the old field.

See section 3.4 here.
