To update the Spring Boot version in your Gradle project, you would change the version in the plugins section of your build.gradle file like this:

plugins {
    id 'org.springframework.boot' version '3.3.3'
    id 'io.spring.dependency-management' version '1.1.3'
    id 'java'
}

Spring Boot 3.x requires Java 17 or higher. Ensure your JAVA_HOME is set to Java 17 or later, and update your build.gradle file if necessary:

sourceCompatibility = '17'
targetCompatibility = '17'

Make sure that the other dependencies in your project are compatible with Spring Boot 3.x, as there may have been breaking changes. Review third-party libraries to ensure they support this version.
After updating, run a full build and test suite to catch any potential issues early.
