  Depending on how complex your needs, you might do with the following:
  
  * [Control Panel JS](https://plugins.craftcms.com/cp-js)
  * [Preparse Field](https://plugins.craftcms.com/preparse-field)
  
  I've used this combo to alter field value display in the control panel.
  
  For example, if a myField can contain a value of '1', then in a Preparse Field I do this:
  
  ```
  {% if element.myField == 1%}ONE{% endif %}
  
  ```
  
  And then using Control Panel JS, I can check the value of that field in the CP (in this case, checking for '1'), and then add/remove a CSS class, change the value of the HTML, etc. Part of the reason to use Preparse fields is they allow you to shorten the column header.
