  Try below code.

  Guid recordId = new Guid ("Provide the record GUID you want to update");
  Entity investor = new Entity("entitySchema you want to update");
  investor.Id = recordId;
  investor.Attributes.Add("attributeSchema you want to update", "value with what you want to update");
  service.Update(investor);

  For option sets use this:

  OptionSetValue myOptionSet = new OptionSetValue();
  myOptionSet.Value = Value;
  workReportItem.Attributes["schema name"] = myOptionSet;

  For entity reference use this:

  workReportItem.Attributes["schema name"] = new EntityReference("account", MissionAccount.Id);

  General syntax of update is as:

  var workReportItem = new brd_workreportitem
                         {
                             brd_name = S.brd_name,
                             rest of the code
                         };
  crm.UpdateObject(workReportItem);
  crm.SaveChanges();

  hi,

  I  update the phone number in the  account form into the contact entity using plugins.

  here the code using plugin developer toolkit,

  protected void ExecutePostAccountUpdate(LocalPluginContext localContext)
          {
              if (localContext == null)
              {
                  throw new ArgumentNullException("localContext");
              }

              IPluginExecutionContext context = localContext.PluginExecutionContext;

             
              // TODO: Implement your custom Plug-in business logic.
              // TODO: Implement your custom Plug-in business logic.
               //Get the IOrganizationService
              IOrganizationService service = localContext.OrganizationService;

              //create the service context
              var ServiceContext = new OrganizationServiceContext(service);
              ITracingService tracingService = localContext.TracingService;

             

              // TODO: Implement your custom Plug-in business logic.

              string oldPhone = ""; // to store the old Main Phone no:
              string newPhone = ""; //// to store the new Main Phone no:

              // The InputParameters collection contains all the data passed in the message request.
              if (context.InputParameters.Contains("Target") &&
              context.InputParameters["Target"] is Entity)
              {
                  // Obtain the target entity from the input parmameters.
                  Entity entity = (Entity)context.InputParameters["Target"];
                  // get the pre entity image
                  Entity preImageEntity = (context.PreEntityImages != null && context.PreEntityImages.Contains(this.preImageAlias)) ? context.PreEntityImages[this.preImageAlias] : null;
                  //get the post entity image
                  Entity postImageEntity = (context.PostEntityImages != null && context.PostEntityImages.Contains(this.postImageAlias)) ? context.PostEntityImages[this.postImageAlias] : null;

                  // get the preimage and postimage telephone1 value
                  if (preImageEntity.Attributes.Contains("telephone1"))
                  {
                      oldPhone = (string)preImageEntity.Attributes["telephone1"];
                  }

                  if (postImageEntity.Attributes.Contains("telephone1"))
                  {
                      newPhone = (string)postImageEntity.Attributes["telephone1"];
                  }

                  if (newPhone != oldPhone)
                  {
                      try
                      {
                          //Create query to get the related contacts
                          var res = from c in ServiceContext.CreateQuery("contact")
                                    where c["parentcustomerid"].Equals(entity.Id)
                                    select c;

                          foreach (var c in res)
                          {
                              Entity e = (Entity)c;
                              e["telephone1"] = newPhone;

                              //ServiceContext.Attach(e);
                              ServiceContext.UpdateObject(e);
                          }

                          ServiceContext.SaveChanges();

                      }
                      catch (FaultException ex)
                      {
                          throw new InvalidPluginExecutionException("An error occurred in the plug-in.", ex);
                      }
                  }

   just try it once.
