Well, if you're talking about upgrading to iOS 5, I'm sorry to say this, but iOS 5 doesn't support your version of the iPod Touch. The bottom of this page shows the hardware that iOS 5 is compatible with: www.apple.com/ios/features.html
If you're talking about upgrading to another version of the software (earlier than iOS 5) all you should need to do is plug your iPod into your computer and click "Check for Updates".
