Answer 1

Just concatenate the string literal with CONCAT() it into the column with an UPDATE statement:

UPDATE yourtable SET name = CONCAT('T ', name);

If you need to limit this to certain rows, be sure to use a WHERE clause:

UPDATE yourtable SET name = CONCAT('T ', name) WHERE <some condition>;
