Remotely install program updates?

The way that we sort of do this is to install the app to a shared network drive and then we update that network drive. For use it's rather simple as the updates are to do with post code look ups so the application stays the same but the raw data it uses needs to be updated every few months.
For the really big stuff we have CA Software Delivery Option, so packages are produced and rolled out overnight.
Another way to possibly do this in a small environment is to use Logon Scripts that check and update but this will only work if the user(s) are local admins on that workstation.

If your using active directory you could create a group policy to run login scripts, meaning the users dont have to be local admins.
If the updates are msi's assign them via AD, even if they aren't msi's you maybe able to create a msi using winstall.
