Yes you can still get updates on Windows XP. I recently did a system recovery of one of my laptops that came pre-installed with XP and I am still getting updates.You need to go to Microsoft Update in Internet Explorer not from the Control Panel. As I have found that installing Updates from CP no longer works. If you don't already have Service Pack 3 you will need to install it again as Kemical said.
