It might be a good idea to implement something at a database level that returns nothing if there is not enough money to withdraw.

What database management system are you using?
I honestly think that this is best handled at the database level.

Well, You have to lock the table while User A is updating the value so once A is done then table is available for reading and B will get latest value.

It's called concurrency. Here, start from this...

Good Luck!!!

Without wishing to distract you from reading the excellent piece linked by CK, one important basic point is to ensure that the checking of the available value, or current balance, is done at the point of attempted removal of funds, rather than simply checking prior to confirmation of the desire to update the balance. This can be done also, so that the operator knows not even to attempt the transaction, but this shouldn't be relied upon as there is obviously the possibility that the funds will have been removed between the time it was last checked and the confirmation of the desire to remove the funds is sent.

To put it into more standard SQL terms, it might go something like :

UPDATE [tblFunds]
SET    [Value] = [Value] - 4000
WHERE  ([ID] = {ClientID})
  AND  ([Value] >= 4000)
