Is it possible anywhere to download an update or service
pack etc on one computer (that has broadband) and save it
to a CD to install later on my other computer (with a
dial up connection)?

Thanks in advance

A search here, google, etc.. would have saved you time:

SP1a
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/pro/downloads/servicepacks/sp1/sp1lang.asp
(134 MB | 5.5 hours @ 56K | 11 minutes @ T1)

For all other patches/updates:

You can save a lot of time/space getting SP1a and then the SP1 rollup
package...

Download the Update Rollup 1 for Microsoft Windows XP from here:
