Hi Pradeep,

This is not possible in a trigger, because when you addError to the record in trigger.new to mark it as duplicate, it rolls back any DML statements after that.

You probably have to either use a VF page to do that or override the Save button in your page layout with a custom button.

This button has to look for the matching record, if found populate the id field of the new Account object and do an update.

Hope this helps.
