If I have to upgrade or change Ubuntu versions on my desktop PC, what will be the proper and safe way to do so? Should I boot from Ubuntu DVD for a fresh installation of Ubuntu or should I download the updates only for upgrading Ubuntu?

the apt manager will do upgrades in place (do-release-upgrade), or the gui software update manager will give you the option when a newer version is available.

A fresh install is definitely the way to go with upgrading versions; just do not format the /home partition should data there be of any value.
