This is a little bit simpler than SriniShoo's script and seems to do what was requested (but it doesn't print the trailing spaces that were included in the expected results shown in the 1st message in this thread):
Code:
awk '
NR == 1 { r1f4 = $4 }
	{ $4 = r1f4 }
1' input

If you want to try this on a Solaris/SunOS system, change awk to /usr/xpg4/bin/awk or /usr/xpg6/bin/awk.
