Will multiple CPU cores be used for expensive query

I would like to now if it is possible for PostgreSQL to make use of
multiple processes for a single query.
I am developing a data driven application which was a homemade plpgsql
function that identifies duplicate records(by single column) and
updates a boolean field (of these duplicates) as such.
