Probably means the table is owned by someone else. If you have DBA privileges, check the view DBA_TABLES using:

select owner
from dba_tables
where table_name = 'PREPAYMENT'

If you don't have DBA privileges, check ALL_TABLES instead or get your DBA to check for you. Then either log on as the owner or change your statement to:

alter table owner.prepayment modify (checkno number(10));

If the latter works, shoot your DBA for giving you too many privileges!
