If I understand your question properly, I think Record Versioning could do 
it.

http://web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/06/the-database-abstraction-layer#Record-versioning

If you 'deleted' auth_user.id == 1, all that happens then is that the 
is_active field gets set to False.  You could then search for it and make 
your updates as it didn't really get deleted from the DB.  Then just change 
is_active back to True.
