You can't update firmware that is up to date.
"LED flashes for 5 seconds the MagSafe is connected but does't charge"
Which LED? The power adapter LED? What color does it flash?
Try doing SMC and PRAM resets.
nothing workt still not charging the magsafe has no lite and my macbook led doest flash is only green lite for 5 sec
If the SMC reset and PRAM reset didn't work, you'll have to take the machine and the MagSafe in for service.

If the LEDs you refer to are the charge indicators, then it would seem the Mac will need a new battery: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3205
