I used this code to reproduce your problem

create class employee extends v
create property employee.salary string

insert into employee(salary) values ("1")

enter image description here

I used this query to changed the type of property salary

create property Employee.salary2 Integer
update employee set salary2=salary
DROP PROPERTY Employee.salary
update Employee remove salary
ALTER property Employee.salary2 name salary
update Employee remove salary2

enter image description here

Hope it helps

In newer versions of OrientDB you can use ALTER PROPERTY Employee.salary TYPE Integer

Works for me on 2.1.19
