The only way out is dynamic SQL as you have to compose the whole statement dynamically and run it using execute immediate .

Note that it is difficult to maintain; might be OK for very simple cases, but for complex queries ... I'd think twice before actually doing something about it.

Something like this:

declare
  l_str varchar2(200);
begin
  l_str := 'update '    || par_table_name     || ' set ' ||
           par_column_1 || ' = ' || par_value_1          ||
           ' where '    || par_column_where_1 || ' = '   || par_column_where_value_1;

  execute immediate l_str;
end;
