For minor version updates, your OS should prompt you to update as they come out, usually within 1 or 2 weeks. For major version updates though I believe there is no way to do it automatically, so you'll have to download the latest version and re-install.

As for npm, it can be used to update itself, in fact you'll usually get a message when npm is out-of-date, but it can't update the nodejs binary.
