Why do you want to do this?

You can do something like this:
test=# create table foo (id int primary key);
NOTICE: CREATE TABLE / PRIMARY KEY will create implicit index "foo_pkey" for table "foo"
CREATE TABLE
test=# insert into foo values(1);
INSERT 0 1
test=# insert into foo values(2);
INSERT 0 1
test=# insert into foo values(3);
INSERT 0 1
test=# update foo set id = id+1;
ERROR: duplicate key violates unique constraint "foo_pkey"
test=# begin;
BEGIN
test=# update foo set id = id+100;
UPDATE 3
test=# update foo set id = id-99;
UPDATE 3
test=# commit;
COMMIT
test=# select * from foo;
id
----
2
3
4
(3 rows)
Other solution:
test=# begin;
BEGIN
test=# alter table foo drop constraint foo_pkey;
ALTER TABLE
test=# update foo set id = id+1;
UPDATE 3
test=# alter table foo add primary key (id);
NOTICE: ALTER TABLE / ADD PRIMARY KEY will create implicit index "foo_pkey" for table "foo"
ALTER TABLE
test=# commit;
COMMIT
