use any graphical editor with that capabilities. I use kate.

Why would you need a special gui for that? I am sure you could configure
any file manager to do that for you via sudo.

I don't know how this works on ubuntu. Ask at ubuntu.
On debian, I just look at security advisories and do
"aptitude update| dist-upgrade"
It would depend on your needs of how/why you would like to automate
updates. This comes up frequently on this list, so just search the
archives.
