• You can upgrade it yes but you will need your ISP to port it at their end. Just call them with the numbers on the box. Easy peasy.

• No, the device owner must perform the firmware update and it appears you are the device owner.

• The owner can do a firmware update but it will likely be overwritten by Comcast's firmware that they use. (Same with TimeWarner and many other ISPs).

• The ISP is always responsible for pushing firmware updates. The only other way to do so would be to hack your router / set up some sort of ISP software on your computer to make the modem think it is talking to an ISP. DOCSIS standards leave it to the provider to approve and push new firmware updates. If your ISP is giving you the run around, go read the DOCSIS Standard and point them to the relevant section
