can you upgrade shader on graphic card

You can overclock it.

Try using MSI Afterburner.

It's called "buying a new card".

You cannot upgrade one shader model to another shader model with software since shader models require specific hardware/circuitry to be embedded inside the graphics core.

I can only add, that if you are using Windows XP you can't go beyond DirectX 9 anyway.

Of course but newer games requires newer shader models so these games don't work with old shader version. Still those newer games works perfectly in XP even if you got a recent generation of graphic cards, even though XP is DX9... so DX9 doesn't limit anything. Furthermore, 3D gaming does use only DX9 so there is no limitation coming from DX9.
