Q: I can't update my mac

I can't update my mac to 10.7. I have the one from 2008 or 2009. Its a MacBook and when I go to about mac, it sais "Mac OS X" "10.6.8" then when I check for software update, it sais there is none, so I can't update to 1.7, which I need for a lot of Apps.

MacBook, Mac OS X (10.6.8)
