Yes, you can upgrade apache to 2.0.59 version without any problems. On Debian you can use, for example, 'apt-get' command for these purposes. For more information you can use 'man apt-get' or just some documentation in Internet.

I used nmap :
80/tcp open http Apache httpd 2.0.54 ((Debian GNU/Linux) PHP/4.3.10-18 mod_ssl/2.0.54 OpenSSL/0.9.7e mod_perl/1.999.21 Perl/v5.8.4)

I stopped apache (2.0.54) :
/etc/init.d/apache2 stop
Stopping web server: Apache2.

I started the newest version :
/usr/local/apache2/bin/apachectl start

I used nmap :
80/tcp open http Apache httpd 2.0.59 ((Unix))



I don't know if i can remove the 2.0.54 version ... and how i can start the 2.0.59 version by default

Just stick with your distribution's version and save yourself a lot of hassle... Just make sure that your distribution is not EOL and run your package manager regularly to stay up to date on security updates.
