Maybe something like this: Store the name of the function to be
executed in a property and define a function which is run in
`org-after-todo-state-change-hook' that reads this property and
executes the function if, say, the state was changed to "DONE".
(defun dmj:execute-func-after-todo-change ()
"Execute function in exec_func property if entry changes to DONE."
(when (string= state "DONE")
(let ((func (intern (org-entry-get nil "exec_func"))))
(if (fboundp func) (funcall func)))))
(add-hook 'org-after-todo-state-change-hook 'dmj:execute-func-after-todo-change)
For the update part you might want to look at el-get.el[1]:

| function for you to setup the extension. Or call it a package.

I did not try it (yet), but this looks sweet.
