You can get java 1.6 from this link. -->http://java.com/en/download/manual_v6.jsp

1.7 is current.

You will find all the instructions on how to install, and verify you installation on that site. However, I would look into installing and removing old versions through the package manager that comes with Centos. If you go outside of the package manager, you are on your own to find the old version, and install the new one.

This link -->http://www.centos.org/docs/4/html/yum/ covers your questions. You will need the root password to do most software install, removal, and upgrades.

You must either have java 1.6 or 1.7 rpm installed. You can delete with rpm -e package name.rpm or download the tar version and just untar it wherever you like.
