UPDATE users 
SET (userid, modifieddate) =
(
PGP_SYM_ENCRYPT('0', 'AES_KEY'),
PGP_SYM_ENCRYPT('2018-06-19 08:40:23', 'AES_KEY')

          Your table columns users.userid and users.modifieddate should be type BYTEA, because pgcrypto module generates encrypted result with BYTEA type.

          You cannot encrypt only one user's id and put rest of it as it is , if you want to achieve that you need to alter table as mention by @C.C. Hsu , i.e. to converting data type of userid , modifieddate into bytea or text which is capable of storing both encrypted data and your normal data.



          alter table users alter column userid type bytea using PGP_SYM_ENCRYPT(userid::text, 'AES_KEY');
          alter table users alter column modifieddate type bytea using PGP_SYM_ENCRYPT(modifieddate::text, 'AES_KEY');
