I'm afraid the only way would be re-writing the whole table (pseudo sql):

BEGIN;
create table newtable as select field1, 'newfield default value', field2 from 
old_table;
create_all_indexes on newtable;
drop old_table;
commit;

things get complicated if you have foreign keys pointing to old_table...
