Use on change not on click. Click triggers change, but the user could also tab across and hit an arrow key. It will always change.

$('input[name="optionsRadios"]').on('change', function(){
    if ($(this).val()=='update') {
         //change to "show update"
         $("#cont").text("show update");
    } else  {
         $("#cont").text("show Overwritten");
    }
});

Also, the correct syntax to set a value is $("#something").val("the value"); but in this case #cont is a div, so you need to use .text() or .html().

Solved, based on your approach.. There are more optimizations you could do, but I left it mostly as-is:

Here's the code outside a fiddle:

$(".radio input[type='radio']").on( 'click', function(){
    if ($("#up_radio").is(":checked")) {
         $("#cont").html( "show update" );
    } else if ($("#ov_radio").is(":checked")) {
         $("#cont").html( "show overwritten" );
    }
});

   $("input:radio[name=optionsRadios]").click(function() {
        var value = $(this).val();

        if(value="update")
          $("#cont").text("show update");   
       else
         $("#cont").text("show update other");

    });
