If I understand your question correctly, what you are trying to achieve
is to have the function execute with the creator permission and not the
user who executes it. If this is the case then it is easy. Use
security definer
when you create your function as in the following example:
create or replace function func_name(parameters)
returns ...
security definer
as '
declare
...
As long as the creator has permission to modify data in the table, so
would the user who executes this function.
