You can use .replace. For example:

>>> df = pd.DataFrame({'col2': {0: 'a', 1: 2, 2: np.nan}, 'col1': {0: 'w', 1: 1, 2: 2}})
>>> di = {1: "A", 2: "B"}
>>> df
  col1 col2
0    w    a
1    1    2
2    2  NaN
>>> df.replace({"col1": di})
  col1 col2
0    w    a
1    A    2
2    B  NaN

or directly on the Series, i.e. df["col1"].replace(di, inplace=True).
