What do you mean by "completely update"? You can either install kubuntu-desktop, or backup and do a clean kubuntu install.

Switching from Ubuntu to Kubuntu wouldn't exactly be an 'update' in my opinion... From reading a bit just now, I have gathered that it is like Ubuntu with a different desktop environment. Instead of using Gnome, it uses KDE Plasma, which is where it gets the 'K' in its name. I suppose you could try to switch the desktop environment, but that would probably be much harder than backing up the files you need and reimaging it with a fresh Kubuntu image.

The Kubuntu install CD works just like Ubuntu's (in my experience). You should be given the option to keep your data intact, while upgrading the the System files. Of course this depends on how your system is setup. If you use disk encryption, you may not be presented with this option.
Kubuntu can alternatively be setup on your system without an install CD, by adding the kubuntu-desktop packages, while leaving the vanilla Ubuntu system mostly unchanged. This may be a better option if your disks are encrypted.
In a terminal, type:
sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
Then choose Kubuntu as your desktop environment at login.
Optionally, if you wish to remove the Gnome Desktop Environment (ubuntu's default) and make KDE your default, You can install Kate desktop manager with:
sudo apt install kdmthen remove the Gnome desktop manager:sudo apt remove gdm
and finally, set KDM as your default desktop manager with:dpkg reconfigure kdm
