Welcome to Android Central! You almost certainly won't find any official updates for a cheap no-name device like that one. Your only hope would be to search for a custom ROM designed for that exact device (which is unlikely). If you find one, you'd have to root the device in order to install the ROM. The forums at XDA-Developers.com are a good resource for this kind of thing.
