Hiii, I have downloaded dbSNP VCf file from [https://ftp.ncbi.nih.gov/snp/organisms/human_9606/VCF/] The format is as follows:

#CHROM  POS     ID      REF     ALT     QUAL    FILTER  INFO

I want to change the first column, i.e. #CHROM from 1 to chr1. I tried but it changed all 1 into chr1. I want it specifically for column1. Please suggest me how to do it. Thank you.

What code did you try?

I guess simple sed should do the job (in Linux of course), for example

sed -e 's/^/chr/' file > file.new

It will prefix chr at the beginning of every line.

^ (caret character) means starting of the line. So in sed command, I am substituting starting of the line by chr.

Wanting to change chromosome names usually has to do with applying data based on a particular reference on data based on a different one. Make sure you know what you're doing before you actually try to solve your issue.
