Hi Prasanth,

Try Below code. you have a small typo.
 
public class updatename {
    public updatename()
    {
        list<account> accs=[select name from account where name='GenePoint'];
        
        for(account a:accs)
        {
            a.name='Jaffa point';
        }
        update accs;
    }
    
}

Thanks,
Himanshu

Try with below code as highlited from developer console to update the account.

public class updatename {
    public updatename()
    {
        list<account> accs=[select name form account where name='GenePoint'];
        list<account> lstacc = new list<account>();
       
        for(account a:accs)
        {
            a.name='Jaffa point';
            lstacc.add(a);
        }
        update lstacc;
