You'll need video editing software like Adobe Premier or After Effects expensive (+$400 each), Sony Vegas $40 for the HD consumer version +$400 for pro, or Apple Final Cut expensive.  You'll have to change the brightness/contrast, but you'll bring up those bright over-table lights too and may have to mask them so they aren't brightened even more.

You probably can't do it, but you need to light the area prior to filming.  Your problem is the lights over the tables are bright and there isn't enough ambient light elsewhere, so the camera brings down the overall light to compensate for the over table light.
