We have create HTTP event collector event using postman through Rest API. Also we have few events created by uploading log file on our splunk enterprise instance. 

 Is update possible on events and what is Rest API for that? We didn't find any api in documentation.

once events are indexed in Splunk, you can't change you can modify in reporting. This is like strings in java. events are immutable after indexing.
