If it is Shapefile, you can open DBF file in LibreOffice/OpenOffice Calc, and change field type (field type is represented by symbol (N, C, D or M) by the field's name), for example: FIELD,N,9,0
to: FIELD,C,9 N is for Number (numbers define field's Length and Precision), C is for Character, D is for Date, M is for Memo. You should make a backup of DBF file before. It is faster method, but you should be careful with using it.
