how to update macos x version 10.5.8
Without knowing which model & year Mac you have it's impossible to say whether yours can be updated or not. However, any Mac old enough to run Mac OS X 10.5.8 Leopard will not be able to be upgraded to anything particularly useful.

There are literally hundreds of different Mac models.
Find your Mac model name and serial number - Apple Support
