I have a feature class. I want to edit the alias. When I go into the Properties of the FC and try to edit the alias, nothing happens. The field will not accept focus and changes are not allowed. How do I change the alias of a feature class? This could be done via code, ArcSDE command line, or through the ArcMap / ArcCatalog UIs.
This is a feature class in an enterprise ArcSDE (Oracle).
The user is the schema owner.
Attempted to change the alias using ArcMap and ArcCatalog.

If the SDE feature has a service running somewhere, you must stop the service to edit the Alias. After you are done simply restart the service. You should be good.
