You could set up DB Links to access the tables on the other instances. In the stored procedure you use to update the table it can reference the other tables using the DB links.

See Creating Database Links in the Database Administrator's Guide: http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96521/ds_admin.htm#12904

If you don't have full time connectivity between the instances you could use Oracle Replication to copy the data from a main server to the remote servers.

See Advanced Replication:
