how to add version number in vim automatically?

I have vim to add headers to my files and I want to change the minor version number automatically each time I do :w to save the file. The header line is like this:

# Version     : 0.0.24

and I know I need to add something like this

autocmd Bufwritepre,filewritepre *.* exe "1,". 10 . "g/Version ???<C-a>

to my .vimrc file. However, I can't get it right. Can someone help me out?

Thanks in advance,

....  g/Version/norm! $^A``

this cmd will increment the number, and keep the cursor position.

the ^A you press C-V C-A

you also could turn to :s/.../\=.../ to increment the minor version part.
