You dont need a where for an insert because your not filtering out data, its a new record to the table. only an update, select or delete statements need a where clause.

You probably meant to do
update Employee
SET TaskAssigned=@TaskAssigned,
TimeAssigned=@TimeAssigned
WHERE name = @name

Also, id recommend assigning an identity ID to each employee and updating using the id
