Alter Seed value of Identity column

Hi,
I want to create temporary table, say "a" which has a column say "col1"
which i wnt to be an identity for which I need to provide a seed value.
I tried the following
1. Create a Table with Identity seed,value as (1,1)
2. Tried to alter the table using "alter table a alter column col1
IDENTITY (500,1)" but this fails saying that "Server: Msg 156, Level 15,
State 1, Line 1 Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'IDENTITY'."
Any idea how to do this
Note: Since it is a temporary table I can't create a dynamic query bcoz the
table will be in tht context and later on will be destroyed (this is wht I
observed, correct me if I am wrong :) )
TIA
Thnx
