edit entire column from a fixed-width file using awk or sed

Col1 Col2 Col3 Col4


Code:
12     Completed        08       0830
12     In Progress       09       0829
11     For F U            07       0828

Considering the file above, how could i replace the third column the most efficient way? The actual file size is almost 1G. I am having problems with awk since there are spaces between Col 2 and awk is treatng the next word as another column.

Please help!!!
