I've been trying to copy entire content of umbraco site v4.7.2 into new v6.2.1 using licensed courier, but I've got many errors involved with incompatibile data types. So I decidated copy entire content by single script written in c#, but in the first step I've hang up with copy templates, because I didn't found appriopriate API method. Similar I can't update one of few templates by any functionallity incomed with umbraco libraries.
Additionally when I've perform updating template design direct from SQL it's updated, but nothing seen on the umbraco right panel :(
Perhaps you can benefit from having a look at these packages, which makes it possible to sync content between environments - I don't know how it reacts between versions though but it should be possible. However if there is a lack of datatypes you should create them first I guess.

You could also have a look at CMS import, which let's you import content nodes from different sources (SQL; XML, CSV etc.) http://our.umbraco.org/projects/developer-tools/cmsimport
Hope this helps.
