You want CASE, as in:

CASE WHEN field1 = 1 THEN NULL ELSE field1 END

See Postgresql.org --> Documentation --> SQL Commands --> SELECT for
more information, or consult your favorite SQL92 manual.

There are also several special functions for dealing with NULL output,
such as:

COALESCE(x,y,z) : returns first non-null value
NULLIF(x, y) : returns NULL if x = y
