how do i upgrade my ipod touch 4.2.1 to a higher level plz help
You can try using a 'google hack' to search the store for compatible apps if you are stuck on 4. Enter this next line into google.com's search field.
site:itunes.apple.com/us/ "requires ios 2.0|2.1|2.2|3.0|3.1|3.2|4.0|4.1|4.2"
Older devices are limited in terms of CPU, RAM & sensors, so many newer apps will not work.
Post feedback to Apple suggesting how they could improve the store (they could add filtering by iOS version for a start).
To more easily find compatible apps:
iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.
Starting when iOS 7 was released, Apple now allows downloading the last compatible version of some apps (iOS 4.2.1 and later only)
App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club
App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app
You first have to download the non-compatible version on your computer. Then when you try to purchase the version on your iPod you will be offered a compatible version if one exists.

The second generation iPod (which is what I assume you have) was released in 2008. You should expect it to be outdated by now.
The article below may help.
