This is strange, but doesn't Software Update already download the 
updates in the background, and then wait for you to approve installing 
them?  You set the frequency in the Sysem Preferences, and the time is 
usually that frequency at the time of day that you last ran it.  So you 
can change the day and time by manually running it once at that day and 
time.
