what do you mean by that?

an update is when you change the existing data, so it automatically means you're overwriting the old data.

perhaps you can use insert instead of update?

Yea it's very easy. Before you send the update query first select that record and when you update it you can conjugate the string you want I add to the string in the record already. That is one option. The other is like he said. Use an insert instead of an update
