Gab,

Ogr2ogr always needs an input and an output file, and it does not
support "in place" update.  The -update flag indicates that the translation
should occur into an existing datastore to be opened in update mode.
Used to add a layer to an existing dataset for instance. 

You will need to translate to a new file.  Sorry

Best regards,
