Changing runways and approaches, how do I update?

I am fairly new to the flying online thing. Two things I am confused about.
SNA has runway 19R/L in the sim, on pilot's edge and in real life its 20. How do I update my simulator to these new runways? at other airports?
For non gps approaches I can just follow the apporoach plate, but GPS approaches I can't find old plates or how to update my GPS database. Is there a way to update your GPS database?
Details on how to do this would be appreciated. Thank you

Which simulator are you using? Once you answer this, I'll post it to the appropriate forum where people can provide suggestions. Putting it in the General forum without any reference to which simulator you're using makes it hard to provide you with any guidance.

Very good, I've moved it to the P3D forum. I've never done airport updates for FSX or P3D but I'm sure there are those in the community who can help.

For my FSX/P3D installs, I usually search on AVSIM's library for the ICAO code an "AFCAD" and that will update the runways and ILS frequencies.

I did a simple edit of the stock KSNA airport a while ago which you can find here:
viewtopic.php?f=5&t=4250&p=28236&hilit=KSNA#p28236
I can also highly recommend the new KSNA scenery from LatinVFR. It's payware, but it's beautifully done (and has the correct runway numbering).
