You don't really need to update jQuery unless there is a major security issue with an older version.

However, to change it, you need to create an advanced theme to override the head_script function. I do something similar to call the same jQuery file I use on the main site:

if (isset($this->content['script']))
{
    foreach ($this->content['script'] as $scriptline)
    {
        if ( strpos($scriptline, 'jquery') === false )
            $this->output_raw($scriptline);
        else
            $this->output_raw('<script src="your_jquery.js"></script>');
    }
}

Sorry but I can't give you a PHP tutorial... Q2A is a PHP program, to develop with it you need to know a bit of PHP at least :)
