I believe your only option with the alter table command is to set it to
null (which it can't be on an insert that doesn't provide a value since
the column is set up as not null).

ALTER TABLE table_name
  MODIFY (column_name DEFAULT NULL);

Oracle9i SQL Reference
Release 2 (9.2)
ALTER TABLE
column_clauses
add_column_clause
If a column has a default value, then you can use the DEFAULT
clause to change the default to NULL, but you cannot remove
the default value completely. That is, if a column has ever
had a default value assigned to it, then the DATA_DEFAULT
column of the USER_TAB_COLUMNS data dictionary view will
always display either a default value or NULL.
ALTER TABLE tbl MODIFY f1 DEFAULT NULL;
