No as far as I know, but you can create a stored procedure and pass
as parameter the table and then "create" your own query and
execute it from within the stored procedure
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.2/static/plpgsql-statements.html
EXECUTE 'UPDATE '|| some_magic_variable || ' SET '
|| quote_ident(colname)
|| ' = '
|| quote_literal(newvalue)
|| ' WHERE key = '
|| quote_literal(keyvalue);
I haven't tried it thought.
