If I understand what you want, then this is traditionally done using views.
CREATE TABLE base_table (
a integer NOT NULL,
b text,
u name,
PRIMARY KEY (a)
);
CREATE VIEW my_rows AS
SELECT a,b FROM base_table WHERE u = CURRENT_USER;
Add rules so that updating my_rows updates base_table instead. Then,
revoke access on base_table (apart from your super-user) but grant it on
my_rows.
As far as a user is concerned "my_rows" just contains their rows and if
they log in as a different user they will see different data.
