User password information

i have a weird setup where i set up php pages not to explicit store database passwords.
I want the user to be able to change his or her password only.

the files are stored locally and i dont want to divulge any information in the files.

The problem is that if the person figures out how to manipulate the php scripts he could easily change the code.I could set up the user to only be able to change the mysql.user.password column but i dont want them to be able to change the root password also. I only want them to access a specific row and column which is determined by the database. How can i set up the database so that a person can only edit the password column in mysql.user where username is his name?
