You can only do this with a UNION query, which doesn't allow you to update the data.

This is one of the reasons (The main one is that it simply makes no sense in a database.) why such a design is not recommended. It's a disaster waiting to happen. Please see Database Normalisation and Table Structures for a fuller explanation of some of these points.

As a very brief explanation I'd say all such data should be in a single table with a Field or Fields to allow you to separate out those with particular attributes.
