i am in KDE so , can i update and how to update
Be patient you’re in stable branch so you will update at the next stable update whatever the date, no any vital need to running speed here 
but i want update i want go to unusable without losing any files
So you need to change branch, check the testing or unstable one looking more appropriate to your stamina
This will be helpful for you:
sudo pacman-mirrors --api --set-branch {branch}
that means branch - unstable
sudo pacman-mirrors --api --set-branch {unstable}
like this?
Remove the curly brackets so it’s like this:
sudo pacman-mirrors --api --set-branch unstable
Then run:
sudo pacman-mirrors --fasttrack 5 && sudo pacman -Syyu
do i need vpn or anything for this? i am getting error .
RROR Connection: HTTPConnectionPool(host='muug.ca', port=80): Read timed out.
Second error

(connect timeout=2)'))
No.
After which command did you get that error?
after this command
It works fine for me. Try updating your mirrors first:
sudo pacman-mirrors --geoip && sudo pacman-mirrors --api --set-branch unstable
ok i will try i run sudo pacman-mirrors --api --set-branch unstable again so i will wait if got again errors i will try
its finished but check it
sudo pacman-mirrors --api --set-branch unstable ✔

It missed out a lot of mirrors for some reason but it looks like you have change branches. Now try:
sudo pacman-mirrors --fasttrack 5 && sudo pacman -Syyu
i got 1.3 GB update form pamac
Looks like the branch switched worked, once you have downloaded and installed the updates your system will be on unstable.
ok i skip this command for pamac , do i need run this command?
You can use pamac instead of pacman. So if you’re updating with pamac ignore that command.
You want to swich to unstable, but you don’t know how. You haven’t done any research, you want every command spoon-fed.
I don’t think this is a good idea. Not for you, not for manjaro.
