ORA-06571 error... HELP!

Hi, this is the same post as another one I posted five minutes ago.... just in case you know that ORA error.

I need to develop a PL/SQL function that allows me to insert/update a table.
I'm getting an

ORA-06571: function name does not guarantee not to update database

How is I cannot update the database?
Do I need to change any initialization parameter?

It has to be a function, not a procedure, cause we're working through a third party product.

Thanks in advance.
