I just want to know who is the owner of C and C++ like Oracle is the owner of Java and they release new versions of Java. So who can provide updates for C and C++.

C++ and C are designed by (different) ISO committee. The languages are public, with only the official specification being copyright protected and the property of ISO. Anybody can implement the language, however.

In fact two of the popular implementations, Clang and GCC, are open source and free software respectively.
