If you have for example Ubuntu 9.04 installed and you want to have a newer version of wine but you can't do a sudo apt-get update (maybe because you don't have cap or some other reason). Is it possible to use a Ubuntu 9.10 live cd to update wine since it comes with a newer version. If it is possible how do you do it?

Is there a reason you don't want to upgrade to 9.10?

You need to add the WineHQ repository. Detailed instructions are available here:

It is going to get messy if you try and do it that way with the CD and I will personally not try it.
The packages on the 9.10 CD has been built against the dependencies, base layout, kernel and whatnot to be 9.10 specific, so do not be surprised if it does not work, gives you errors or just flatly does not want to install even.
Wait till the end of the month for new cap or get some from Afrihost and add the repository for 9.0 like mentioned above, that is the sound and safest way to go.

The below is from my debian install
The dependencies listed would make me give it a try. remember you can always choose no if it seems apt wants to pull in more than the dependencies listed.

$ aptitude show wine
