Generally in ubuntu the main system updater tends to handle updates to all software.
Click on System, Administration, Update manager
When it launches it will tell you what updates are available. Click on Install updates then enter your password when asked.
It's as simple as that. Think of it as windows update on steroids.

Also how do you go about getting codec packs?

Ok, this one is a little harder, there is a nice howto on it
Here and the most you will be doing really to install them is copy and paste into a terminal.
While you are at it, if you wish to be able to edit video then type in the following into a terminal window.
sudo apt-get install kdenlive
follow the instructions on screen and you will have a video editing package the equal of Sony Vegas.
Hope this helps.
