The real question is when will we get the 2.3 update from at&t. When the official 2.1 came out for the x10 at&t was late by 6months or more. I suggest you spend the time to read and research about using & installing custom roms because eventually a 2.3 custom rom based on official se sources will be available.

Another option is to debrand your phone, which will remove all of the att bloatware by flashing the global generic firmware, which will allow you to get the update as soon as it is released instead of waiting for att to release their version, it took them around eight months to release their 2.1 update. If you aren't comfortable flashing it youself there are sites, like davinciteam.com, that will make it easier for a price.

How do you flash your device to remove all the att crap and id like to be able to overclock my x10a, any help would be great

Flash a custom rom after rooting. If you find that too complex you can use TotalGSM or Davinci to debrand the phone, but they charge.

Debranding from att is easiest by just flashing a generic version with flashtool. Or root google debranding xperia x10 its super easy with root explorer

Do just like hoskopico said, root your phone, buy Root Explorer on the market, and edit the build.prop file to one that can be updated (see how to debrand and the list of updated kits, do a quick search for how to debrand and look under "General" for the roll-up to see what kits are available.).
