Installing Windows Update Problem

Everytime I scan for updates it shows I have some that need to be installed.
However, I am not allowed to do so becuase a message pops up saying I need
administration permission. I have only one account on my computer, and it is
administrator. I tried to create another account administrator account, but
i did not work. Can anyone help me with my problems?
