Granting permissions on a specific database to the NT AUTHORITY\NETWORKSERVICE?

I can't seem to do this from the Management gui, it doesn't list this object.  When I try and type:
1) USE DATABASENAME
2)GRANT UPDATE TO NT AUTHORITY\NETWORKSERVICE
3)GO

It tells me there is a syntax problem.  I'm no sql admin, just trying to learn and get this application working the way I need it to.  Thanks in advance!

1> use databasename
2> GRANT UPDATE TO [NT AUHTORITY\NETWORKSERVICE]
3> GO
Changed database context to 'databasename'.
Msg 15151, Level 16, State 1, Server database\instance, Line 2
Cannot find the user 'NT AUHTORITY\NETWORKSERVICE', because it does not exist or
 you do not have permission.


I have full permission, so why is it not seeing this?  I just want to be able to have network services log in and edit the database.  This is for a monitoring app.
