SQL script to update one field in table via batch file

Is it possible to create a batch file of a sql script that would allow end user to update a single field of a table?
For example, a number field is populated but needs to be updated on a daily basis by end user. Say the current value is 10002345 and needs to be updated to 12345678. Can a script be ran that would prompt the end user for the current value and a 'replace' or 'update' value?
Would like to have this in a batch file to be placed on the desktop.
Pls advise.

i don't think mssql is primarily designed for the "prompt the user" part, being an RDBMS. you might need some kind of a front end tool/application
