I am trying to change the fieldname on a table into a record text.

e.g the table have 3 columns with the field name: Maths, English, Computer with the exam marks on the record
Maths English Compute
Peter 90 86 9
Mary 60 90 8

I need a table with only 2 columns: Subjects and Marks
Name Subject Math
Peter Maths 9
Peter English 8
Peter Computer 9
Mary Maths 6
Mary English 9
Mary Computer 8

The original [fieldname] Maths, English, computer will be list in the record subject as data
The marks related to each record will be in the next column

How should I design on the query?
 
You should redesign your table so you don't have 'data values' as field
names. If not possible, you can use a union query to get your desired
results.
SELECT Student, Maths as Mark, "Maths" as Subject
FROM tblStudMarks
UNION ALL
SELECT Student, English, "English"
FROM tblStudMarks
UNION ALL
SELECT Student, Computer, "Computer"
FROM tblStudMarks
