I'll assume that you are running X.
You'll have to figure out what it's keycode is. Use xev(1) to find
out. Run xev and tap the key. You should get about four lines of
text including what the keycode is. Then, try
xmodmap - << DONE
keycode xxx = Control_L
add control = Control_L
DONE
Where xxx is the keycode. If the key is on the right hand side of the
keyboard, you should probably use Control_R instead of Control_L. All
the other Control keys should still work.
