Just create a user that isn't allowed to update that column, then use that user in your PHP code.
The wording of your message makes it look like you're using a webform to specify a columnname-value combination to update int he database. This is inherently insecure.

Hi,
I have my reasons in asking this. But instead of going on about it I'll make it quick.
Is there a way to BLOCK an update to a column in a databasefrom a webform or php page?
What I mean is this.
A user registers for a site. They enter details like their address, username and etc.
I want to BLOCK any possible updates from a webform or php page to the address field. Or even halt any sort of update/modification from mysql to that column but have it possible to unblock by admin.
Is this possible? Sure I could refuse an mysql update to do this but I want to lock out everyone to ensure no sneaky activity or changes are made.
Is it possible or am I talking too much?
