As per my understanding, below is the answer

 

I hope you might be using apex:commandButton or a normal html button using input tag

If you use apex:commandButton, you have to use the action attribute there.

<apex:commandButton action="{!updateFunc}" value="Update"/>

Now, this updateFunc should be defined in your custom controller, something like this

public PageReference updateFunc()

{

 //your update code here

 return null;

}

 

If you are using <input type="button" form of tag, then the code should be something as below,

<input type="button" name="update" value="Update" onclick="return updateFuntion();"/>

Now you have to use actionFunction tag 

<apex:actionFunction name="updateFunction" action="{!updateFunc}" rerender="Ids If Any"/>

In the above tag, name should be same that i used in onclick of input tag.

In Controller you should declare your action

public PageReference updateFunc()

{

//your update code here

return null;

}

 

Let me know if you have any issues.

Can we do it through customisation?
