When I try to perform a spatial join between a point and polygon file, I get a notice saying spatial join will not be performed because following field names exceed 10 Characters.
How do I rectify this?

You can install the plugin 'Table Manager' and rename the fields using the plugin ( Plugins -> Table -> Table Manager ) so the length is less than 10 characters and then try the join again.
