You need to put strings in double quotes. The sql string argument to the SqlCommand constructor needs to be quoted.

myCommand = New SqlCommand("UPDATE task SET ...

don't put @ in front of the webserver control instances (you are confusing them with TSQL parameters)

myCommand = New SqlCommand("UPDATE task  SET Numbercardused=" & TextBox1.text & " ...

The dropDownList you need to use the Selectedvalue property

... Numberfreetv=" & Dropdownlist1.SelectedValue & " ...

You need to execute the command now it's built:

myCommand.ExecuteNonQuery()

putting sql inline like that is extremely dangerous and not safe at all, i would suggest moving your sql to stored procedures, or at least parameterizing your query, you should also do some back end data verification, e.g. check for nulls, emptry strings, etc.
