update tbl t
set t.col3 = t1.col3
from (
    select id,col1,col3
    from tbl
    where col2 = 'Sample'
    ) t1
where t.col2 = 'Sample Type'
    and t.col1 = t1.col1
    and t.id = t1.id

You can UPDATE the table like this:

with cte as (
    select * from your_table
    where col2 = 'Sample'
)
update your_table as t1
set t1.col3 = t2.col3
from cte as t2
where t1.col2 = 'Sample Type'
and t1.col1 = t2.col1
and t1.id = t2.id;
