Got it.

UPDATE app_id_800 SET cal_byte_w_err = (CASE WHEN
cal_byte_w_err.value=1 THEN 't'::boolean ELSE 'f'::boolean END)
FROM cal_byte_w_err
WHERE app_id_800.timestamp BETWEEN '2004-01-01 00:00:00' AND
'2004-01-01 00:00:05'
AND app_id_800.timestamp = cal_byte_w_err.timestamp;

Have a good weekend all.
