As Stu said, you just need to ask them not to do so, you dont even need to tell them why.
Just say when you book it in for a service something like:
"I believe there may have been some ECU revisions for my model of car, if that is the case please can you talk to me first BEFORE applying them as I am very happy with the way the car drives now and unless its something absolutely vital I would prefer the car not to be messed around with as in the past I have had "updates" to ECU's on other cars and the car has driven worse afterwards, so I dont want it just assumed that any update is in my benefit and applied without my knowledge, if an update is required I want to know what it changes and be given the choice if I accept it or not"
