Hmm..

You could specify a bit more clearly of what you are planning to do..

For example, are you creating an upgrade to your own program ? That is, do you have access to the source code ? If you do, then you only need to implement the new functionalities, rebuild the program files and distribute them in a small installation.

If, however, you are planning to create an upgrade to some one else's program, to which you don't have any source code available, I heavily suggest that you first contact the author of the software and either ask him/her to implement the new functionalities, or request for a source code portion to implement these functionalities yourself. The first option is of course the more polite one, as not all authors are willing to hand over their source codes, especially if they are commercial products.

The final option is to outrightly hack the program. This means that you would first reverse-engineer the original executable (disassemble it), then do the necessary changes in assemblic code. Needless to say that this is extremely difficult and I suggest you do not even try it out, as you might ruin the program file if you don't know what you're doing.

There are no sites or resources that I am aware which would handle this type of issue, as mostly upgrades or patches are created and released by those people who originally made the software. I suggest you contact the author and ask him/her for an opinion of what to do.
