how to update the file in storage, like for example the mp3 file will be update into wav file

TL;DR
The user is asking about how to update a file in storage. They mention that creating a new file with a new ID is recommended when using the same bucket. They also suggest using a function to process the file on upload. The user is confused about the concept and parameters of the update file method in storage. The solution provided is to refer to the Appwrite documentation for Flutter and check the update file method mentioned there.

I think the method name should be revise into updatePermissionFile

Honestly, I highly recommend creating a new file with a new ID if you're using the same bucket. This is because if you use the same ID, the file can be cached client side and would not be fetched again if updated
