It depends on which particular phone you are using. Some phones are simply not able to be flashed. Others can flash very easily.
The most common system for use in flashing custom ROMs on phones is called CyanogenMod. For a while, there was actually a CyanogenMod app in the Google Play Store that could be used to automate the process, but Google removed it. You can find more information on how and whether your phone can be flashed at

Note that flashing your phone usually voids the warranty, and may brick your phone. You should probably not attempt to flash your phone if you do not know what you are doing.

Do you have to wipe your phone when you flash a custom ROM?
As a rule of thumb, it's a good idea to wipe or reset your phone prior to flashing a custom ROM. It's also a good idea to save all your files and data to your phone's external SD or to your desktop as well before the wipe. After you do that, then flash that custom ROM. If you choose to flash the custom ROM without doing a wipe (called "dirty flash"), you might encounter bugs in your everyday usage.

If there is not official update provided by the manufacturer can you use custom roms to update the device to next android version?
From my own experience, yes, you so can. I might warn you though, it needs rooting your device, which can brick your phone. I'm not responsible for any damage, so here what I do. Example: You have an android phone with Android 2.2, and you want android 2.3 gingerbread. Before doing anything else, go to XDA developers forum, and search for you device and the custom roms. If you see any android 2.3 roms in there, then go in, and read the comments to make sure that it's working on other phones too. If people are commenting with "thanks", "it's great", "perfect ROM" or any other positive feedback, then you can root your phone, and put that custom ROM on your device.
