If you have a significant amount of data to update, it may be advantageous to load the excel file into the database as a table, then update your table based on the data in this loaded table.

   UPDATE RPT_ITM_D
      SET F1301 = NewTable.Value
     FROM RPT_ITM_D INNER JOIN NewTable ON (NewTable.F01 = RPT_ITEM_D.F01);

If you're on SQL server, you could use SSIS to load the file pretty quickly.
