    TABLE is a MySQL reserved keyword. Enclose it in backquotes when using it as an identifier, but in this case, it is unnecessary and should be removed.

    SET @r=0; UPDATE user SET ranking= @r:= (@r+1) ORDER BY count ASC;

    Note that 99% of the time, the error message will point exactly to the character or word in the query causing problems. Look to the first word after the ' in the error to start narrowing your problem.
