Lets say your report variable is called jasperReport

JasperReport jasperReport;

You need to get the band (JRBand) your column is in. Assuming it is in the detail band:

JRBand band = jasperReport.getDetail();

And then find your column and change it's width:

JRElement column = band.getElementByKey("key_for_column");
column.setWidth(123);
