Can we make a script that has the ability to update itself?

Actually, yes. You can make a script that rewrites it's own source basing on some data (GetURL()?) and then saves the result as it's own source (as long as you know the file name). Then you can simply recompile and the new version will load.

This is definitely possible. DorkeyDear aka Curt made a script in the past called "Curts Script Update Service" (CSUS) using GetURL as FalconPL suggested above.
