As you're on 9.04 which isn't a LTS version, you will need to upgrade firstly to 9.10 and then 10.04 if you use the automatic update facility. Within update manager, you should see a notification that a new version is available, but it'll refer to 9.10 and won't offer 10.04 until the upgrade to 9.10 is done. As it says at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes, "To avoid damaging your running system, upgrading should only be done from one release to the next release (e.g. Ubuntu 9.04 to Ubuntu 9.10) or from one LTS release to the next (e.g. Ubuntu 6.06LTS to Ubuntu 8.04LTS). If you wish to 'skip' a version, you can backup your data and do a fresh installation, or progressively upgrade to each successive version." It is possible to miss a version during upgrades, but its normally not recommended as it can break thinigs.
