With vCenter Server/Update Manager 5 in place that's the recommended option, the other option is an interactive upgrade using the ESXi 5.0 installation CD.
Two hints though.
Please take a look at the Upgrade guide for details.

PS: In any case, you need to upgrade vCenter Server to version 5 before upgrading the hosts!
I doubt this will work. The Host Update Utility is only supported for upgrades from 3.5 to 4.0 and for patching ESXi 4.0.

Thanks Andre I was not aware of that. I am still new to these products. So update through vCenter Server would be the best option you think?
