Depending on which column you are referring to, you can do this in your workflow.

If it the workflow list column you can update it by using the workflow action: Set Workflow Status

If it is any other column you can do it through the workflow action: Update list item

  • Can you specify how many workflows you have running on your list? And which columns you are updating through your workflows?

  • If the workflow starts when the item is modified, then you need to insert a check in the beginning of that workflow, so it will only run when the status is not equal to 'Completed'. Assuming that the workflow is setting the status to pending.
