"Upgrading a CD with lossless"
I assume you mean converting it to a file with a higher sampling rate. The answer is generally no, because you don't add any more information or detail by upsampling. Your DAC *might* have a better algorithm at the higher sampling rate, so even if you are not "upgrading" the information, I guess it's possible your DAC might do a better job at the higher sampling rate.
"SACD better than CD"
They can be, though I hear a slightly sweet, honey-like glaze on my Oppo 95. It's less gritty, maybe too much less gritty.
"remastered CDs"
Mastering is tricky, and any mastering engineer taking a 2nd (3rd, 4th…) crack at previously released material may do a better job than the original mastering engineer… or not. Put another way, there is no "correct" master. Mastering always involves taste and skill.
