It will just happen automatically,

When you download an app it is consider a user app. When an app is pre-installed, it is called a system app.

The way that you update system apps, is by downloading the newer version of the pre-installed app (let's say through the Android Market, or through GetJar). The install package warns you that the app is going to replace a system app, you say okay and the app is actually installed to the "user" app portion of the system.

What that means, you can uninstall the updated app to go back to the original system app, as well as, if you do a factory reset, the updated app will get reset to the pre-installed version.

I hope that explained a little more to you.
