Postgresql Update Error " Error: Invalid Input Syntax for Type Boolean: "

I'm trying to make a simple update query on postgresql. I don't really understand the error as there is no boolean value or column type. Here is the log :

cat=> UPDATE categories SET epekcategoryid='27af8b1e-c0c9-4084-8304-256b2ae0c8b2' and epekparentcategoryid='root' WHERE categoryId='281' and siteid='0' and categoryparentid='-1';
ERROR:  invalid input syntax for type boolean: "27af8b1e-c0c9-4084-8304-256b2ae0c8b2"
LINE 1: UPDATE categories SET epekcategoryid='27af8b1e-c0c9-4084-830...

The table config :

cat=> \d categories;
                Table "public.categories"
        Column        |         Type          | Modifiers 
----------------------+-----------------------+-----------
 categoryid           | character varying(32) | 
 categoryname         | text                  | 
 siteid               | integer               | 
 categoryparentid     | character varying(32) | 
 status               | integer               | default 0
 epekcategoryid       | text                  | 
 epekparentcategoryid | text                  |

Try:

UPDATE categories 
SET epekcategoryid='27af8b1e-c0c9-4084-8304-256b2ae0c8b2',
    epekparentcategoryid='root' 
WHERE categoryId='281' 
  and siteid='0' 
  and categoryparentid='-1';

You must separate fields in SET part with "," , not with "AND"
