try trigger

create table foo(
  a varchar
);

create function a_update_trg()
returns trigger as $$
begin
  if new.a is distinct from old.a then
    raise exception 'cannot change column a';
  end;
  return new;
end;
$$ language plpgsql;

create trigger foo_trg_update after update on foo for each row execute
procedure a_update_trg();

You can write a TRIGGER to avoid changes on the column. Within the
TRIGGER you can compare OLD.column with NEW.column and there you can
raise an error if there are differences.

Perhaps trivial, but:
Additional to or instead of triggers You can use grants to allow updates only to special users.
