Or in psql you can look at the help (\?) and set the output format to 
unaligned, comma separated, and output the table to disk :

database=> \pset fieldsep ,
Field separator is ",".
database=> \a
Output format is unaligned.
database=> \o table.csv
database=> SELECT * FROM table;
database=> \o

cheers
