My question is regarding the update of Bitcoin software. Is there any mechanism for a synchronized software update in the Bitcoin network?
Is there any synchronized software update mechanism in Bitcoin-Blockchain?

Assuming you're talking about the specific software project Bitcoin Core, there is not, and this is very intentional. Core's developers (disclaimer: that includes myself) shouldn't have the power to force new software onto the network.

No there is not. Bitcoin is a protocol, and there are many different implementations of the protocol developed by many different people and groups. It would not make sense to distribute "new software" to all the different implementations.
Then how does a change in consensus rules or any of the software module is updated on all the Bitcoin nodes? – Imran Makhdoom – 2017-08-09T04:57:04.900
There isn't. People must choose to run new software of they want new rules. – Pieter Wuille – 2017-08-09T07:56:33.680
