Use your web browser, http://mirror.centos.org/centos/<version>/os/SRPMS

and for the updates :

http://mirror.centos.org/centos/<version>/updates/SRPMS

The sources for the kernel are published at the same place as the 
sources for everything else.

You cant use up2date or yum to manage source rpms ( on CentOS 4 )
