The problem is that fcwrapperlist at the class level is always null.

 

You have a duplicate fcwrapperlist declared inside getForecastRecords which you populate with the wrapper classes.  When getForecastRecords completes, this data is discarded.

 

You fcwrapperlist (which is a different type) at the class level is never initialised, and thus is null.  When you attempt to pass this to a database update call, you get a null pointer exception.

 

On a related note, you can't call update on wrapper classes, only sObjects.  You'll need to turn your wrapper classes back into forecast_entry__c objects before updating then,
