JaE,
The provision of software and its download are two separate items.
Yes, once it has been build, tested and delivered it's fairly simple to put it into the FADEC - the 777 has an 'on-wing' facility which enables the software to be updated without taking the FADEC off the aircraft and swapping the computer cards. Even so, it's still a shop job, not the kind of thing that you do on a whim, and also the frequency of updates is very slow, we are talking of one every several years not daily like a PC!
I did try to find out when there was a release of new software for the T800 but it seems to have been some years back!.
