I just used
sudo apt install eclipse-platform
on Ubuntu 16

Usually I use desired release "installer" , however

Now I have Eclipse 3.8 version
the question of this post

can I SELECTIVELY update 3.8 to 2020-03 ?

I do not want anything more recent since it still has an issue with editor NOT selecting highlighted text, but ALWAYS starting at the top!

The best way to do this is to download 2020-03 as a tgz then expand it in any convenient place like /opt.

Been there , done that,
It seems to have an issue installing / updating to /media / "anything "

I extracted the last 2020-03 to /home/user , and run test protected just fine,
Added "TCF" software and it won't find editor , hence NOTHING works anymore.

ADDENDUM

Actual error posted on different download

No editor descriptor for id org.eclipse.cdt.ui.editor.CEditor



How is that possible ?


Also tried , on different download of 2020-03 , to just "check for updates " - it downloaded few and now it wants Java 11... hence NOTHING works anymore.

What kind of updates / new software install is Eclipse peddling ? IT USED TO WORK !
How is that possible ?


ps Anybody knows WORKING IDE where I can use TCF plugin ?

Your original post said you wanted to go from 3.8 to 2020-03.
You failed to mention you achieved that and it worked.
Now you tell us your problem is after adding TCF.

You could save a lot of time by stating the actual issue up front.
Looks like your actual issue is when installing TCF to a rather old Eclipse release.
You might be better off asking at TCF support
https://www.eclipse.org/tcf/support.php

TCF and CDT are different projects.
This forum is about CDT.
Asking about TCF here is a long shot.
The same with asking about Eclipse updating which is really a platform issue.

A bit like expecting the guy who built your garage to fix your car
because you park it there.
