Assuming your'e using BindingSource

var cbox = new DataGridViewCheckBoxColumn // Modify column type
{
    AutoSizeMode = DataGridViewAutoSizeColumnMode.AllCells,
    DataPropertyName = dgv.Columns["ColumnWantToChange"].Name, 
    HeaderText = "SOME HEADER NAME"
};
dgv.Columns.Add(cbox); // Add new 
var r = dgv.Columns.OfType().Where(x => x.Name == "ColumnWantToChange").FirstOrDefault();
dgv.Columns.Remove(r); // Remove the original column
