OpenGL Outdated, Unable to Update

Question

I have recently discovered that my version of OpenGL (2.1) Is out of date, and not the one that apple says supports my mid-2011 Macbook pro (3.3). I have been told to update the driver, but of course there is no Nvidia GeForce 320M driver for OSX Mavericks. I am definitely no expert on graphics or any of this stuff. Is there a way to update it, or, do I not need to, even though Apple says I should have verison 3.3? Please help, this may be the solution to my long standing problem with gaming on a Mac.
Computer info:
GPU: NVidia GeForce 320M 256k
mid-2011 Macbook Pro
Current OpenGL version: 2.1
OpenGL versio that Apple says My computer supports: 3.3
If you need any more information on my computer then just ask.

OK but is there an option to turn it off? If so give it a try.
FWIW, there is only one graphics controller present in that particular system; that is not the integrated and the high-performance controllers that are present on some of the other MacBook Pro configurations.   I'd expect that attempting to disable the sole graphics controller present would be inauspicious.
To the OP: OpenGL and OpenGL ES are integrated with OS X.  The only way to upgrade them is to upgrade OS X, and if you're running Mavericks, then you have the latest version that Apple is supporting with your particular Mac.
I don't see a 13" MacBook Pro mid-2011 model listed (at all), but I do see a mid-2010 model (MacBook Pro 7,1) with the NVIDIA GeForce 320M.  There is no second graphics controller available in that model.  Both MacBool Pro 2011 13" MBP models (Early 2011 and Late 2011, both are listed as MacBook Pro8,1 — which seems a little odd, but I see several references to that) had Intel graphics, according to the lists I'm checking.  
The MacBook Pro 15" models tended to have dual graphics controllers in that era, which is what Neville Hillyer is referencing. 
To the OP: can you provide a pointer to whatever software package or tool is requesting an upgrade to OpenGL?  (It would appear the software might not support your particular MacBook Pro, unfortunately.)  Alternatively, check with the support folks for the package, and probably send along your hardware configuration information to them.
