Is the query below any different from what you are trying to accomplish.
UPDATE requisicao SET conclusao='3' WHERE now()-data>'15 days' ;
if you want to use the exact query more efficiently you may rewrite
using EXISTS as
UPDATE requisicao AS a SET conclusao='3' WHERE
EXISTS (select * from requisicao where reg=a.reg and
now()-data>'15 days' ) ;
