You can try this to upgrade Node to the latest stable or any version. You can also install directly from nodejs.org and don't have to use the command line. Run the following:

sudo npm cache clean -f
sudo npm install -g n
sudo n stable

Package "n" denotes a node helper and it will upgrade to the latest stable version. You can also specify the version as below.

sudo n 0.10.32

Once completed, you can check the version installed using

node --version

If you installed Node from apt-get, try sudo apt-get upgrade instead. Update updates the repository contents in your cache, not the installed programs. If you did not it won't help.
