the "isolation level" is for specifying what rows are visible no for columns.
besides, postgres doesn't implement "read uncommitted"

no. b value "must be" 1, you want it to be 4...
in an update the columns always hold the old value until the statement
is finished, the only way i can think for doing this is with a trigger
