To turn the tables on someone you must be one step ahead of them and play them at their own game so that their plan for you turns onto themselves.
Or, to say that in plain English, "turn the tables" means that you do what someone has done to you back to that person. For example, if someone eats your lunch at work, the next day you would "turn the tables" and eat theirs.
