Check this out: http://datatables.net/reference/option/columns.render

You can add a column render callback when you specify columns definition.

var columnsDef = [
...
{
    "title": "Order No.",
    "render": function (data, type, row, meta) {
        return '<a href="view/order?' + data + '">' + data + '</a>';
    }
},
...
];

$("#table").dataTable({
    ...
    "columns": columnsDef,
    ...
});

The data in that column will be changed to what the render function return.
