Here's one solution. No consideration to performance.
import numpy as np
import pandas as pd
from numpy.random import randn
df=pd.DataFrame(randn(5,4),['A','B','C','D','E'],['W','X','Y','Z'])
print(df)
y_series = df["Y"]
for i in range(len(y_series)):
if i == len(y_series) - 1:
# Last one, nothing to copy
break
if y_series[i+1] > 1:
y_series[i] = y_series[i+1]
df["Y"] = y_series
print(df)
