I think your best bet is to use the SAP Help for starters or even searching this Forum. Look at what Internal Tables are and how they are used and also look at the UPDATE/MODIFY Statements as well in the Help. You should be able to find your answer from there. Just looking at the error message alone should give you a clue as to what direction you should be looking at or not looking at.

UPDATE statement is for updating DB tables. You don't want to use that; you should use MODIFY instead.

MODIFY statement can be used to update DB table as well as internal table. It depends on how you use the MODIFY statement. Read help on MODIFY and it should help.

If you want to update only certain fields of the internal table, look at the TRANSPORTING option of MODIFY statement.

Asking how to modify the contents of an internal table is an extremely basic question.
