hmm, for me its not quite clear, for what you are trying this. I.e.:

- In case you need a more recent version of powerdot, you should first 
have a look inside MiKTeX's update manager, if there isn't one already 
available.

- If this fails at last you could download the package from the next 
CTAN-Mirror and replace the default one installed by MiKTeX.

- If you really need to update the cab-archive, i'm afraid you'll have 
to grapple with MiKTeX's packaging guide. Perhaps 
http://docs.miktex.org/packaging/ is a good entry for doing this.

Hope this might help ;-) Thomas
