Keeping data update safe

Keeping data update safe

I have seen many websites (including SO and my websites) to store rows id
of data extracted from database in a HTML attribute. I know that it can be
edited by the user at client side and maybe sent to server-side to update
the data according. Take this query as example and remember, it is for
upvoting comments:
SELECT comment_id, comment FROM comments
A normal person will do the printing like this:
<td data-commentid="<?php echo $row['comment_id']; ?>"><?php echo
$row['comment']; ?></td>
and the output:
<td data-commentid="1">+1, beat me to it.</td>
<td data-commentid="2">Damn! What is this?</td>
...
When it is displayed to some hacker type user, he will try to edit the
commentid with something like 250 and will click upvote button and our
innocent script will accept it and will upvote the other comment with id
250 although it was visually for comment with id 1 or 2.
Question:
Is there any way to get rid of this? You can turn your console on and
inspect SO also when you change its attribute referencing to comment
important information, it seems to update the db with the updated
attribute's id.
