You'd still have to name every column to be updated explicitly.
There is no update whatever column happens to contain this value

A request such as this make me think the database is not properly normalized.
If there is one value that can be in several columns, it is very likely
those columns need to be broken into their own table, so that they can be
queried with a SELECT statement that has only one column in its WHERE
