No parenthesis:

UPDATE "Categories" SET "Name" = 'test' WHERE "ID" = 28;

This presumes you truly need the double-quotes. It this does not work try
removing the double-quotes around "Categories", "Name" and "ID" and see what
happens.

I am curious why you think the parentheses are necessary. Something in the
PostgreSQL documentation you've misread; it works (for some reason)
elsewhere so you simply tried it here as well; or you learned (or just
guessed) at the syntax incorrectly from some other source?
