You can only update Safari by upgrading to a higher version of OS X.
Try an alternative browser like Firefox.
Where can I find what is the latest OS that I could install in my iMac (13 inches early 2008)?
Does it support OS 8 lion or 9 Maverick?
If your iMac is an early 2008, you can install El Capitan.
Check that your computer is compatible with Mountain Lion/Mavericks/Yosemite/El Capitan.
To check the model number hold down the option/alt key, go to the Apple menu and select System Information.
iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) model number 7,1 or higher
Your Mac needs:
OS X v10.6.8 or OS X Lion already installed
2 GB or more of memory (More is better - 4 GB minimum seems to be the consensus)
8 GB or more of available space
Check to make sure your applications are compatible. PowerPC applications are no longer supported after 10.6.

El Capitan 10.11 Compatibility information
Do a backup before installing, preferable 2 backups on 2 different drives.
You might want to upgrade your RAM. The 2 places I’ve seen recommended most to buy reliable RAM are below. I have purchased RAM several times from Other World Computing and have always been very satisfied with the product and service. They have on-line instructions on how to replace the RAM. OWC has also tested RAM above what Apple states is the maximum. I now have 6GB installed on a early 2008 iMac supposedly limited to 4 GB and noticed an improvement.
