You cant update a single object. Put the object in to a array and update it.

Example:

String quaryString="SELECT id,name FROM Account WHERE id='001900000072lps'";
              QueryResult result = connection.query(quaryString);
             
              SObject[] results= result.getRecords();
              for (int i = 0; i < results.length; i++) {
                  Account acc = (Account)results[i];
                  acc.setName("Change Through API");
                 
            }
             
              connection.update(results);

I'm not sure about what you mean by setting a goal to an Account.

But you can

quary for you specific Account and do any changes to it an then update it using

connection.update(selectedAccount);
