As Dan mentioned, there are code samples Delete Field—Help | ArcGIS for Desktop for deleting fields.

Are the Field names changing that require you to use a SQL statement for the field names? Or are you trying to query records and change the field value in the selected records? That would be a different process and I think would make more sense for using a query.

If your trying to delete the values not the field then use a selection tool and then use field calculator to clear the fields.
