  • You can either start from the CD/DVDs you have, buy newer retail versions, or take it to an Apple Store & they'll do it for you, there's no 4th option on a machine so old.

  • I know Mountain Lion can be installed to that particular model. As I've personally done it. However you'll need to install via a USB boot disk. Which can only be downloaded from the app store on a newer, eligible, system though. If I recall correctly. Mountain Lion was the first major update Apple gave out at no cost for eligible hardware.
