I currently have a late 2012 27 inch iMac. I currently use macOS Catalina. My question is, Can I improve/update my iMac? Several websites will not load anymore :(

If web browsing with Safari is the main or only problem, download & install Firefox. It is fully supported on Catalina and has very good security & privacy features. It should work fine with the websites you say don't currently load (assuming you are using Safari).
Regarding other apps or issues, your late 2012 27 inch iMac can run Catalina but not more recent versions of macOS. If you want to be completely up to date you will need to replace your iMac with a newer model. And at this point it should be an M-series (Apple Silicon) Mac, not an Intel Mac.

No Catalina is the highest macOS the Late 2012 27" iMac can run.

You'll have to use FireFox instead of Safari.
What are the issues or errors shown?
Untrusted or unrecognized certs, probably?
Sectigo updated their roots and derailed some websites. Others may have, as well.
Here is how I updated macOS 13 iVentura) to the new Sectigo roots:
Try a 3rd party browser like Brave Browser or Firefox.
You will need a new Mac.
iMac running macOS Catalina is unable to load certain websites
