You should not change the standard install, its probably there for a reason!

But you can install another version for your own use. I don;t know 
CentOS but I assume it has a package manager. Just install the latest 
package (apt-get, yum, yast or whatever).

In the last resort you can download the tarball and build from source. 
But there is probably a package you can use
