I want to create a generic process model for update constant. I used update constant smart service as it required constant as input which is of type content constant. so i want to pass constant as process parameter.
is it possible or is there any other way to do this?

I echo Mathieu's warning that it's a good idea to not update general-use constants procedurally, except in rare special cases where you have a strong reason. I would point out, though, that the modern version of the Update Constant service actually does have a way to turn off "new versions", i.e. you can force a straight-up overwrite, which could be useful for constants that act merely as flags / toggles, where no version history would ever be relevant or useful.
A while ago I figured out a way to update constant by name (if you have a way of passing a valid constant name into your subprocess) - this uses a combo of tricks to look up the constant's ID (note this requires at least one plugin), and the ID is passed to the smart service in lieu of a direct reference to the constant. Keeping the new data type in line with the constant you're updating will be up to you - use at your own risk i guess
extract( getcontentdetailsbyuuid( getconstantorruleuuidbyname("TEST_CONST_FOR_UPDATE") ), "Id: ", ", Parent:" )
