You should use IN/OUT - Parameters, foro example:

test=# create or replace function atif(in int, in text, out a int, out b text) returns record as $$begin a=1; b='hello
world';return; end;$$language plpgsql; 
CREATE FUNCTION
test=*# select * from atif(0,'test');
 a |      b
---+-------------
 1 | hello world
(1 row)
