I bought an xperia L C2105, but in my country I need 850 and 1900 UMTS bands. Is it possible to update modem firmware to unlock those frequencies. Basically mean convert it to a C2104. Thanks!

I dont have any idea whether the UMTS bands will change , but you can flash C1204 firmware on your phone , it wont harm your phone.
