Should come as an automatic update. Also try the latest directx download.

You can run DX11 programs despite your card being DX10 only that dx11 features will be disabled.

Yes, your card supports DX10, but not DX11.

Anyway, the DirectX 11 for Windows Vista is available in Windows Update and marked as a "Recommended" download.

No the only cards that support DX11 are the 5xxx series and the GT3xx series.

However you can still run Dx11 programs without DX11 specific features.

my cards doesnt support 11? my windows update didnt show me any update for direct :/

No, only the HD5000 Series support DirectX 11 at this time, later nVIDIA and probably low/mid/notebook products of series HD5 will have DirectX 11 as well.

I don't know if you need to have a DirectX 11 card to Display the Download in Windows Update, maybe that's the reason why you can't see it, you need a compatible card so the download will appear.
