My iMAC is from mid-2010 and has Yosemite OS. How can I upgrade to Mojave?

It cannot be done, your 2010 must be replaced by a newer Mac if you want to run Mojave or later. Mojave and later versions of Mac OS require the GPU supports Metal ( Metal - Apple Developer ) and that was not available until 2012 and later iMacs. No it cannot be retrofitted and no there is no other work around. The ONLY solution is replacing the computer if you want to run anything later than High Sierra 10.13.6.
