update a field with different information

SELECT clientLastName__c, clientFirstName__c, clientID__c, Category_ID__c, 
    ID AS Incident__c, OwnerId, SystemTypeDesc as taskDescription__c
FROM process.dbo.vw_NewHireProcess
WHERE System_Type__c IS NOT NULL`

I'm not sure how to update the OwnerId field with a specific value, but I don't want to change the name of the column.

Like this:

select clientLastName__c, 
  clientFirstName__c, 
  clientID__c, 
  Category_ID__c, 
  ID AS Incident__c, 
  '95939439uuxx' AS OwnerId, 
  SystemTypeDesc as taskDescription__c 
from process.dbo.vw_NewHireProcess 
Where System_Type__c IS NOT NULL

Good luck!

If you just want to return a constant value as the ownerid column, you can do the following:

select clientLastName__c, 
       clientFirstName__c, 
       clientID__c, 
       Category_ID__c, 
       ID AS Incident__c, 
       42 as OwnerId, 
       SystemTypeDesc as taskDescription__c 
from process.dbo.vw_NewHireProcess 
Where System_Type__c IS NOT NULL

If you want to return a different value for ownerId based on the value in that column you can do something like this:

select clientLastName__c, 
       clientFirstName__c, 
       clientID__c, 
       Category_ID__c, 
       ID AS Incident__c, 
       case 
         when OwnerId < 100 then -1
         when OwnerId >= 100 and ownerId < 1000 then 1
         else 42
       end as ownerId
       SystemTypeDesc as taskDescription__c 
from process.dbo.vw_NewHireProcess 
Where System_Type__c IS NOT NULL

But none of those will change the value that is stored in the database. It's merely a replacement while you select the values.

You don't need to change your column name. You can update like

UPDATE process.dbo.vw_NewHireProcess 
SET OwnerId = 'New Value whatever you want'  WHERE OwnerId = 'Current Value'

You will need to alter the values, but this is the layout for an UPDATE statement:

UPDATE yourTableName
   SET OwnerId = yourValue
 WHERE yourWhereClause
