It means I can't be so easily fooled

Other similar expressions would include

I wasn't born yesterday

I didn't come down in the last shower of rain

and many others. Basically I'm not a fool, but the expression has more force if a little crude language is used.

But the force of such expressions relies on both parties understanding what it means. It might have been a deflating experience for the other if you had asked what he meant.
