Best bet is you don't have a PRIMARY KEY on the table.

 From the screenshot I'm guessing you are using pgAdmin and if I 
remember correctly it only allows updates when there is PK field.

Just checked:

https://www.pgadmin.org/docs/pgadmin4/6.5/editgrid.html

"To modify the content of a table, each row in the table must be 
uniquely identifiable. If the table definition does not include an OID 
or a primary key, the displayed data is read only. Note that views 
cannot be edited; updatable views (using rules) are not supported."
