Maybe you can turn that into a resultset, then uppercase individual
words, then join them back into a string.  Something like

select string_agg(case when words like '*%*' then upper(btrim(words, '*')) else 
words end, ' ')
from regexp_split_to_table('The *quick* *brown* fox jumped over the *lazy* 
dog', ' ') as words;

                  string_agg                  
----------------------------------------------
 The QUICK BROWN fox jumped over the LAZY dog
(1 fila)

This is a bit simplistic, but hopefully you get the idea.
