First get the selection object from the treeview:
selection = treeview.get_selection()

Then select the each path or iter (depending if you're using paths or
iters)

selection.select_path(some_path)
or
selection.select_iter(some_iter)

You'll probably end up with something like this:

selection.unselect_all()
iter = model.get_iter_first()
  while iter:
    value = model.get_value(iter, column)
    if value is what I'm looking for:
        selection.select_iter(iter)
    iter = model.iter_next(iter)
