@Shahil,
Unfortunately, you can’t rollback whole CentOS version, but you can downgrade or rollback a specific version of package in CentOS using following command.

# yum downgrade packname

@Jordi,
No way and not possible to update offline, the only way is to update online, because the updates are fetched from official CentOS repository and we don’t which package and how many packages needs to be downloads and installed during updates..

Can you show me how to update it if my server is offline?
My server is CentOS release 6.4 (Final) and I dont have other linux servers available.

Can I somehow download the updates manually in a windows workstation, use Winscp to transfer them to the Linux server and install them locally through Putty.

@Devendra,
All CentOS 6.x versions are stable and bug free and better in performance, you should go for CentOS 6.5 as this is the one of the best stable version I worked with..
