For you to update a document in Firestore, the structure of the update is a little bit different in relation to yours. As per the documentation - accessible here - you need to select the collection and then, the document you want to update. The code would be something like the below one:

var usersRef = db.collection("users").doc("user");

// Set the "user" field of the city 'DC'
return usersRef.update({
    "website": "user.com"
})
.then(function() {
    console.log("Document successfully updated!");
})
.catch(function(error) {
    // The document probably doesn't exist.
    console.error("Error updating document: ", error);
});

A simplified version would be:

db.collection("users").doc("user").update({
    "website": "user.com"
})
.then(function() {
    console.log("Document successfully updated!");
});

While this is untested code, I believe it should help you with understanding on how to update the values and as a starting point. You can get more examples from the official documentation as well.
