What type of field is Industry?  Are you looking add more picklist options via Apex - unfortunately you can't do that.

Actually i have a picklist of values in Industry. In that industry for 2-3 values i have to update with another value in place of those values by following some more functionality like in user object some picklist and in the lead some field value comparision. After comparing i have to update those values. Is it possible? if it is not why? any specific reason.

I'm still not clear I'm afraid - are you trying to update the value of the industry field on a record, or are you trying to add some additional options to the pickist like you would through the setup menu?

ok i will explain in detail: there is a custom picklist like *region* in user object in that the values are like usa - CA, usa - LN, United kingdom- SG, United kingdom- UI like this. and in the lead object there willl be *another picklis*t having values USA, United kingdom. Now the functionality i have to perform is if *region *Contains USA and *another picklis*t is USA. We have to update Industry field (picklist) in lead with a new value in place of an existed values

Okay, so it sounds like you want to update the configuration of the lead sobject, rather than a particular instance.  There is no supported way to do this from Apex.  You may be able to consume the metadata WSDL using the Financial Force apex wrapper:

Could you plz explain me in detail

I don't have any more detail I'm afraid.  You can't do it directly from Apex.  Financial Force have some code that may allow you to do this, but I've not used it.
