Can you Please try this code, Its a power shell script...

$site = Get-SPSite -Identity "http://serverName/"
$web = $site.RootWeb
$field=$web.Fields["Title"]
$field.Type= "Choice"
$field.Update($true)
$web.Dispose()
$site.Dispose()

It will make Title Column to be choice type and you can update it as your need.
