MapAt[Abs, t,
 Flatten[Table[{i, j, 3}, {i, First[Dimensions[t]]}, {j, Dimensions[t][[2]]}],
   1]]

More generally

mapAtColumn[t_,column_,f_]:==Module[{d},MapAt[f,t,Flatten[Table[Append[Table[d[i],{i,ArrayDepth[t]-1}],column],Evaluate[Sequence@@Table[{d[i], Dimensions[t][[i]]},{i,ArrayDepth[t]-1}]]],ArrayDepth[t-2]]]]

will map f onto the last position column of a multidimensional array t.  This can be further generalized to map onto a single value of a particular dimension and all other dimensional values.
