Multiple update in a configuration table

I would like to know the best method to update a table I have where there are 3 columns:

ID, Key, Value

Today I’m doing so:

UPDATE dbuf.dmds SET situacao = '0' WHERE id_demanda = '1';
UPDATE dbuf.flxs SET valor = '1' WHERE id = '22' AND chave = 'votos';
UPDATE dbuf.flxs SET valor = '4.5' WHERE id = '22' AND chave = 'tempo_etapa';
UPDATE dbuf.flxs SET valor = '2015-02-13 16:42' WHERE id = '22' AND chave = 'ult_mod';

Imagine that this is in a concatenated in a single text command, but I know that the database will do 1 instruction at a time, so I wonder if I have how to do the procedure 'in one shot', in case there is an error, do not create 'orphaned' values in the table.

From now on, I thank you all!

So @Juarez, the business rule is right, because they are 4 parameters that are properties of the entity dmds (demands). The table was built this way (id, key, value), because in the middle of the path it can assume different configuration keys (time_step can cease to exist in the system, or be renamed). I understand that it is difficult even... Thank you for your attention!

I imagine you will have to run the 4 separate updates even, this is because each one changes in different searches (Where), but to not have 'orphaned' data you can use mysql transactions (http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/commit.html)

An example of what it would look like:

START TRANSACTION;
UPDATE dbuf.dmds SET situacao = '0' WHERE id_demanda = '1';
UPDATE dbuf.flxs SET valor = '1' WHERE id = '22' AND chave = 'votos';
UPDATE dbuf.flxs SET valor = '4.5' WHERE id = '22' AND chave = 'tempo_etapa';
UPDATE dbuf.flxs SET valor = '2015-02-13 16:42' WHERE id = '22' AND chave = 'ult_mod';
COMMIT;
