Why can't you exactly? What happens when you try?

A 2012 MacBook Pro 2012 can be updated to macOS 10.15. Catalina.

Wether you can download a version of Garage Band to Catalina, I cannot say.

Third party software interfering with the normal operation of macOS is a very real possibility. Typical culprits are anti-virus apps, cleaning apps, and third party security software. Try booting into Safe Mode to see if you can download & run the installer. If Safe Mode works, then you have an issue with some third party software.
