You need to use the sp_rename command, or use Management Studio to do it visually – make sure you do it at a quiet period, and make sure it has been done in pre-production first with testing!
Incidentally I would keep away from A/C – the slash sign is special meaning division.
The documentation for sp_rename is here, example B is most appropriate.
