I presume you can do this before you import -- but I don't have any
Access expertise to suggest how that is done -- or after you import. I
don't think any Stata import commands offer options on name mapping, so
not during the import.
In Stata you can use -rename-, -renvars- (SJ), etc.

I am loading several MS Access datasets into Stata via an odbc
connection, but some variables have a number as the first character of
the variable name. Stata doesnt like this and changes the name into a
default name like var1. How can I keep the original variable name but
add, for example, a letter to the variable name?
For example, I want change:
23_alcohol_units
into
Q23_alcohol_units
