It's better to use Observer pattern for update.

Here is good description of MVC(as for me): https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/general/conceptual/CocoaEncyclopedia/Model-View-Controller/Model-View-Controller.html

I believe not.

Personally I would put the update method in the model layer, probably in my DataObjectMapper, and call it from the controller.

Your models should never talk to the controller, only the other way round.
