Are you talking about updating applications? Then I can already tell you 
that you can definitely update via WiFi at your discretion.

But it may be that the people at the DoCoMo shop are speaking about 
something else. Gmail, calendar, and maybe other things will 
automatically synchronize, and it might be that they only happen over 
3G, I'm not sure. I know you can turn synchronization of particular 
Google apps on and off entirely, but so long as they are on, you 
probably can't control what network they use.

Also, system updates might also be another matter. If Android (Cupcake?) 
or the Linux kernel or something were to update, then I don't know what 
that would entail.

It seems to me that you and the DoCoMo staff might be speaking with 
slightly different terminology, leading to some confusion. I'm not 
defending the DoCoMo people, because maybe they did tell you the wrong 
thing. I'm just saying that it seems like a little clarification of 
exactly what is at issue might be in order.
