function example?

Could someone help me and give me a basic example of
how to write a similiar functional function to the one
below that would use a dynamic table and update a
column only if it held a value.

I've been reading around and can't seem to find the
answer I'm looking for. I just need a simple examle to
build upon. I would rather not use plpgsql if
possible. Tom mentioned the other pl's don't need
EXECUTE or something like that and would prefer clean
syntax if possible.

Thanks a bunch

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION updatefoo(tbl
varchar, data  mydata, myid bigint) RETURNS
boolean AS $$
DECLARE
BEGIN
    update ${tbl} set
    f1 = mydata.f1
    IF mydata.f2 IS NOT NULL THEN
        ,f2 = mydata.f2
    END IF;
    WHERE id  = myid;

     IF NOT FOUND THEN
         return false;
     END IF;
     return true;
END
$$ LANGUAGE ?;
