I have ubuntu 12.04 and I want to update to 13.04, but without downloading it from the website. How can I do it ?

13.04 Isn't an LTS so Canonical doesn't make a disk for it. Canonical typically makes install media available for their LTS (long term support) OS editions. The current LTS is 12.04.
When install media is available, it can be purchased here: http://shop.canonical.com/index.php?cPath=17

It's not clear if you do not want to download an iso and burn to disk, or if you just have no internet and don't want to download anything. I'm guessing the first case...and your existing system is updated this way...
For Ubuntu Desktop:
- Simply start the Update Manager and follow the on-screen instructions.
- Or use the Ubuntu Server instructions below.
For Ubuntu Server:
Install the update-manager-core package if it is not already installed:
$ sudo apt-get install update-manager-core
Edit the config file
$ sudo vi /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades
...by changing this line
set Prompt=normal;
Launch the upgrade tool with the command
$ sudo do-release-upgrade -d
...and follow the on-screen instructions.
