I currently have the BATTLEAX C.A320M-D V14 MOBO and an A8-9600 processor
I'm looking to upgrade it with a Ryzen 5 3600 but I have no idea how to upgrade my bios because it currently supports A series processors but as I browse the BIOS updates, there's 1008 and it supports Ryzen 5 3600.. do i just update it with this BIOS version? and how do I update it? does it need to be flashed?

PS. Sorry for bad english and I really dont know much about MOBO and Procie about their compatibility.. im just asking whether its possible or not.. Thanks..
 
Many modern BIOSes have a utility in the BIOS to update them. You usually download the image from the support site onto a USB drive that you'll point the utility to in order to perform the actual update.

According to the link you provided, the Ryzen 5 3600 should work with the 1008 BIOS version installed BEFORE you actually install the new CPU. This means you must have a different compatible CPU installed while performing the BIOS update.

Upon successful completion of the update, power the system down and swap the CPUs.
