How do you upgrade to a later Mac OS X version?

I'm trying to download limewire onto my Mac. The only problem is, it requires Java 1.5 or later to run. The pop-up that informed me of this said that upgradinbg to a later version of OS X could solve this problem. But, how do I do that? Any help is GREATLY appreciated. Thanks in adavance to whoever anwers.

Answers:
There are earlier versions of Limewire for OSX 10.2
10.3 and 10.4 the problem is when you go to there site you are probably only offered the latest version.
The only place you might be able to find it is.

You didn't specify what version of MacOs X you are using. Just run the software update. One of the update items is a newer version of Java. Run the update program several times if you haven't done it recently. You can also go to the Apple support pages and see what versions of Java they have. Lastly, if you need MacOs 10.4 and are running 10.1 or something similar, you'll have to buy it. You can get versions on eBay, especially with the newer 10.5 coming out in about 6 weeks.
Apple Menu > Software Update

If you are running Mac OS X 10.2 or 10.3, go to an Apple Store or the online Apple store and buy Mac OS X 10.4 ($129) But try Software Update first...
1. Run Software Update in the Apple menu. Download and install the COMBO update if you are behind a couple updates.
2. Buy and Upgrade disk and install it. Back up your data before installing.
3. Look for an older version of Limewire and use that.
