Before you buy anything, first make sure your Mac is compatible.
Minimum specs for Snow Leopard. Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard -Read the Technical Specifications
I think it probably is as a mid 2007.
Neil gave you the number for North America. In Europe or otherwise … call your National Apple Helpline. Find it at … http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
Once you have bought and upgraded you will need to apply the Combo updater for Snow Leopard. Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1

HT1338 How do I update Mac OS X 10.4.11 to Mountain Lion?

I would like to upgrade to Mountain Lion but all installation apps require OS X 10.5 or greater.

Choose About this Mac from the Apple menu and check the processor.
If it's a G3, no further upgrades are available.
If it's a G4 or G5, buy a retail Mac OS X 10.5 DVD from a source such as Amazon or eBay; Apple still might have copies in stock if you phone them. It can't be upgraded past 10.5.8.
If it's an Intel Mac, buy a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD from the online Apple Store, install it, run the Mac OS X 10.6.8 combo updater, and then try buying Mountain Lion from the Mac App Store.

Upgrade Paths to Snow Leopard, Lion, and/or Mountain Lion
You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You must purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
     Snow Leopard General Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
       2. 1GB of memory
       3. 5GB of available disk space
       4. DVD drive for installation
       5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
           fees may apply.
       6. Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and
           terms apply.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
     Lion System Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
           or Xeon processor
       2. 2GB of memory
       3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
       4. 7GB of available space
       5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
Upgrading to Mountain Lion
To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
     OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
       Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)

HT1338 how do i update my macbook pro from 10.5.8 to the latest software? also please let me know what do i have to do to save my files from being deleted when updating? thank you

how do i update my macbook pro from 10.5.8 to the latest software?

First you have to purchase Snow Leopard, 10.6, from the Apple on-line store for $20. Install and on-line software update from the disk version to the last of the line, 10.6.8.
Then determine if you can go to Mountain Lion, http://www.apple.com/osx/specs and if you can go to the App Store and purchase for $20 the download of 10.8.3.
If you cannot go to ML, see if you can go to Lion, 10.7.5, do you have an Intel Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor at least 2 GB ram and 7 GB free hard drive space. If so you can purchase a download code for Lion from 1-800-MY-APPLE for $20.
If you can use Mountain Lion, skip the Lion step and go directly to ML.

HT1338 how do I update my icon on my Mac desktop?

How do I update my icon on my Mac Desktop?

I can only surmise you are running 10.6.6 or later, since the Mac App Store became available then. Go to Apple menu -> About This Mac and tell us your Mac OS X version. Some Mac OS X versions could have their icons changed, while others could not. I can get a moderator to move this thread to the correct forum once I know your version and know whether or not I can answer this question.

HT1338 How do I update my 2009 Macbook OSX 10.5.8 to Mountain Lion?

I'm not even sure this is possible... My computer has stopped recieving updates so it looks like it's about time for an upgrade but I haven't a clue where to begin given how old my current software is. I read the requirements for Mountain Lion and my computer is compatable but I'm still quite confused. Please help!

Buy or Obtain an OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard disk. These cost $29.99 a peice, and is required to use the Mac App Store.
Run software update. You only need to install the OS X Update. You don't have to update other things like itunes until you have Mountain Lion.
When you have the Mac App Store available, launch it. Locate Mountain Lion. Should be on the front page. Buy it with your iTunes account, similar to buying a song or an iOS App. It will download an Installer application. If the application does not launch automatically, launch it. This application will lead you through all the steps required.
Before you update, make a backup, if you have not already made one. Do not use Time Machine if you are on 10.5.8. Use something like Carbon Copy Clonor. (Google it). You should probably back up your entire disk.
