Writing over an executable?

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

I have an executable application that I would like to update from within the
application. Currently, within the application the user can select to update
the software from the USB, but I can't copy the new executable over the one
that I am currently running. What is the best method to updating the
currently running executable? I am programming with VC++ for a win32 console
app. Is there any API's that allow me to close my application, write over
the executable, and then restart that application without any user input?
