Seagate's general stance is that firmware is not upgradeable by end users. Of course, an end user can perform the upgrade via a PC, but whether Seagate makes this upgrade available to end users remains to be seen. The standard procedure would be to send the drive back for an RMA replacement, in which case you will get a different refurbished drive.
Check out the seagate website for yourself to read their policies.
