can i update iphone 3g to ios6

Yelling at me is not a great way to ask for help. If you are getting a notice to update the iOS 6 on the phone, then you do not have an iPhone 3G, you have an iPhone 3GS. Connect the iPhone to the computer and iTunes and update. If you have any difficulty, then see this support document. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

MY IPHONE 3G HAS BEEN SENT THE UPDATEFOR THE IOS6 SO IVE CLICKED UPDATE AND NOW THE PHONE KEEPS CRASHING EVERYTIME I TURN IT ON IT KEEPS RESETTING ASWEEL, WHEN YOU DO MANAGE TO GET THE PHONE TOO STAY ON FOR LONG ENOUGH TO SLIDE IT TOO UNLOCK IT JUST SAYS IOS 6 PLEASE CONNECT TO ITUNES SO WHAT DO I DO PLEASE???

Stop yelling.

It is not physically possible to update an iPhone 3G to iOS 6. The highest version of iOS it will run is 4.2.1.

If, on the other hand, it is actually a 3GS, it can run iOS 6.1.6

Have you considered doing what it's telling you to do and connecting it to your computer running iTunes?

No the highest version is 4.2.1

so cant i update it?? x

No. The highest iOS that the iPhone 3G can support is iOS 4.2.1.
