I am trying to update a field using a stored function. The problem is with the last parameter "true". The function requires a Boolean value, but TOAD and SQLPlus think I'm trying to reference a field called "true" from the cnv_xbt table. Do you know of a way that I can tell the interpreter that I want a Boolean value and not a field value?
UPDATE cnv_xbt
SET l_per_person = xxx_conversion_sf('CVTRXBT1',
l_data_source
,'PERSON'
,l_feerf
,true) ;

A Boolean datatype is only valid in a PL/SQL context, not a SQL context (which is what your UPDATE statement is).
This statement would not be valid even if there was no column TRUE in the table.
One option: Create a wrapper function that calls your existing function. The wrapper will use 0/1 or 'N'/'Y' in place of the boolean datatype and translate the supplied value when calling the existing function.
