Yes, you can go up to Mac OS Sierra (10.12.x)
Just be aware your system won't be able to support many of the newer features. In addition, you will likely need to upgrade your RAM if you still only have 2 GB. Your system can support up to 8 GB.
You may want to stop at OS-X Yosemite (10.10.x) as it uses less RAM

thank you Dan
Thank you Dan, very helpful. Where would I buy either systems you recommend and also more RAM?
Review this on finding older copies of OS-X: How to download and install old versions of OS X on a Mac
For RAM: There are quite a few online stores that sell it like Crucial
