Becuase postgres is acquiring lock but AccessShare Lock which allow to write on those table How I restrict this.

For what purpose do you want that? What is inadequate about the lock

Table locks are very rarely what you want, as it blocks all concurrent
access to the entire table, while that is only necessary for a few
rarely used corner cases; a foreign key update is not among those.
