Here is an unofficial way to upgrade Raspbian from the Debian Wheezy repository to Jessie, the current Debian Stable repository.
The Kernel won't be uplifted, but you will get newer software.

Commands:
top -u $(whoami)
sudo su
cp /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.old
nano /etc/apt/sources.list
sed -i 's/wheezy/jessie/g' /etc/apt/sources.list
cat /etc/apt/sources.list
apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade
reboot
