I don't enough information about SVN, almost 10%. My question is:

Is it possible to download the latest version of a free software with TortoiseSVN, and update it? My OS is Windows 10.

For example, programs like TexLive or Code::Blocks.

In the first case, the following points are mentioned:

    https://www.tug.org/texlive/svn/
    https://www.tug.org/texlive/svn/usage.html
    https://www.tug.org/texlive/svn/setup.html

Code::Blocks has SVN version:

    http://www.codeblocks.org/downloads/7

What I have tried:

I download ToritoiseSVN and download code::blocks with

svn://svn.code.sf.net/p/codeblocks/code/trunk

but It is source code and I don't use it in windows 10.

SVN is a Source Version Control system - it holds and let's you "download" source code, not executables.

Once you have downloaded source, you can compile it using the appropriate compiler. Depending on what language the code is written in, you will need to install the relevant compiler. For VB, C#, and C++ (among others) you would want to install Visual Studio, which is available (including in free versions) direct from Microsoft.
