You're probably looking for UPDATE table FROM other_table.

That said, I think your subqueries are rather under-constrained - you don't correlate the records in your subqueries to the records you're updating at all! The result will be that all your rows will be based on the last row selected by each subquery. I can't imagine why you'd want that, so I assume you don't.

You would rewrite that to, for example:

update parcelsdata
set gid = random() * 10,
	kasarano = pd2.kasarano,
	murabano = pd2.murabano

from parcelsdata pd2
where id = pd2.id -- substitute for whatever your primary key/condition is

and kasarano = '1'
and murabano = '119'

Yeah, I left out the geometry thing as I'm too lazy to figure out where your brackets start and end ;)
