You can do it by

$('#example').dataTable( {
  "columns": [
    { "width": "20%" },
    null,
    null,
    null,
    null
  ]
} );

this will setup first column width 20%

You can set the column with like 

 "columns": [
                { "data": "orderNo" , "width":"20%" },
                { "data": "crderDate" , "width":"50%" },
                { "data": "clientName" , "width":"30%" }
             ],
