I know that this may sound to easy, but I ususally try this: if alter table modify (col number(10,2)) does not work, I try alter table modify (col number(11,2)) and it works, even with the data in the column.

I did it for number(15) to number (20,5) so I do not see why would you have any problem. Try it on a dummy table.

Hope this helps
