Newbie: Simple data transformation

Hi I have the following table:
tblMeasurement
StationID, PollutantCode, Value
e.g.
01220 013 23.4
01122 011 7.8
...
I want to make a simple transformation-update to the data :
IF the code is 013 then multiply the value by 0.2 and replace the existing
value, etc.
Is this part of UPDATE? I can't seem to find a simple example anywhere .
TIA
-steveTry,
update tblMeasurement
set Value = Value * 0.02
where PollutantCode = '013'
go
