What is the difference between a patch and a mod in most PC games?

I am a PC games fan. I just wanna know, what is the difference between a patch and a mod and how do i want to upgrade my game into a higher version like from V1.0 to V1.1?

A patch is directly from the developer that produced the game and is 99% guaranteed to make the game run better. A mod is usually a user-created modification to the games code to make the game (sometimes) more fun or interesting. Patches generally fix broken code in a game to make it more playable, or add new features to the code to create bonus content for the user. Mods usually twist the code around to accomplish a gameplay function.

A patch is an update like what you want and a mod is a way to change the appearance, sound or function and is usually created by a user.
