   in the wordpress codex:
   http://codex.wordpress.org/Updating_WordPress

   its says:

   If you have customized the default or classic themes without renaming them, you should not use the automatic upgrade, as it will overwrite your changes - you should use a manual update instead.

   My theme is a custom theme made by a developer, but based on the default kubrick theme, them placed in custom directory. In "Manage Themes" it says:

   WordPress Default 1.6 by Michael Heilemann
   The default WordPress theme based on the famous Kubrick.
   All of this theme’s files are located in /themes/**my-name**.

   So can I auto update safely? If not, how can I rename the theme so that I can?

   thanks in advance

   If the theme isn't in a folder called "default" it should be OK but I'd suggest making a backup copy just in case.
