http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora7/FAQ answers both the questions. I 
am unaware of any Live CD's which can support upgrades.

In general, upgrades are less reliable than fresh installations.
You have a number of options. Ycan do a network installation which 
requires a small boot or rescue image both of which can be burned to a 
CD. You can also copy the DVD image to a hard disk and use that. There 
is also the option of doing upgrades via package managers like yum or 
apt-get or smart.
