I recently moved into a older home which has an old house breaker system

need to know can the house breaker system can be upgraded so that the

heater is on and another heater is turned on in another room at the same
time and the breaker switch will not kick to the off position? How can I
fix this problem?

No offense intended, but you probably can't. Not yet, anyway. It doesn't sound
like you have a lot of experience working with residential electrical systems,
and what you're describing is a pretty major project for someone who's just
getting started. Your first step, IMO, should be a visit to the library to get
a few books on residential electrical wiring. This will help you to understand
the scope of the problems here. Your next step then should probably be to get
estimates from several professional electricians. This really is a significant
project, that is very likely beyond anyone with as little experience with
electrical systems as it appears that you have. Again, no offense is intended
here -- electricity is dangerous stuff, and careless or unknowledgeable use of
it can KILL.

It's time to throw all their damned tea in the harbor again.

Agree. Also safety and insurance aspects!
A very cheap immediate safety measure could be some battery powered
smoke alarms (only a few bucks). Stick a few of those around, often
quite sensitive! I've had them go off when soldering or when a circular
saw blade slightly burned some wood or when some small amount of fat
burned on the kitchen stove. But at least that confirmed they were
working! Overloaded wiring would probably do the same and if so
immediately throw off all power and vacate house.
