I have Mac OS X 10.5.8 right now, how do I update to Mac OS X 10.6.8 in order to download iTunes 10.7?

Basically my question is in my title. I have Mac OS X 10.5.8 right now and I have one of the old really white macbook laptops and I am wondering step by step how do I update all the way to Mac OS X 10.6.8 in order to download iTunes 10.7? (Ps. I already clicked on the Apple symbol on the top left part of my screen and clicked "Software Update'' but it says I am up to date, which clearly is not right)

Thank You

MacBook, Mac OS X (10.5.8)
