How to update a object within array in elastic search

I have read the nested docs and create mapping and get mapping as follow

"fields": {
"type": "nested",
"properties": {
"_id": {
"type": "string"
},
"name": {
"type": "string"
}
}
}

where fields is my array contain the following

"fields": [
{
"_id": "1",
"name": "naveen"
},
{
"_id": "2",
"name": "rajit"
},
{
"_id": "3",
"name": "ashu"
}
]

I want to update and remove object from this array, and I am doing this,

client.update({"index": "daffosw","type": "daffo","id": "2501","body": {
"script" : "for (int i = 0; i < ctx._source.fields.size(); i++){
if(ctx._source.fields[i]_id == id){
ctx._source.fields[i].name = 'Updated John';
}
}",
"params" : {
"id" : "1"
}
}}

and I am getting this error

VerifyError[Bad type on operand stack
Exception Details:

ASMAccessorImpl_18539991071412750271920.getValue(Ljava/lang/Object;Ljava/lang/Object;Lorg/elasticsearch/common/mvel2/integration/VariableResolverFactory;)Ljava/lang/Object;

'org/elasticsearch/common/mvel2/integration/VariableResolverFactory' }
stack: { 'java/util/List', 'java/lang/Object' }............
.............................................................

then I have tried this

client.update({"index": "daffosw","type": "daffo","id": "2501","body": {
"script" : "for (int i = 0; i < ctx._source.fields.size(); i++){
if(ctx._source.fields[i]_id == id){
ctx._source.fields.remove(i);
}
}",
"params" : {
"id" : "1"
}
}}

and this is giving the same type of error

then I have tried

client.update({"index": "daffosw","type": "daffo","id": "2501","body": {
"script" : "for (element : doc['fields'].values){
if(element._id == id){
element.name = 'Updated John';
}
}",
"params" : {
"id" : "1"
}
}}

which gives this error

elasticsearchIllegalArgumentException[failed to execute script]; nested:
PropertyAccessException[[Error: unresolvable property or identifier: doc]

please help....

Here I have a array type field in my document of Elasticsearch, like
below:-

"prog_lists": [
{
"description": "engineer",
"age": 25,
"name": "ashu"
},
{
"description": "programmer",
"age": 26,
"name": "rajit"
},
{
"description": "designer",
"age": 27,
"name": "naveen"
}
]

I want to update only those objects which satisfy any condition, like I want to query where name equals to ashu update his age to 30.

please suggest something....

Thanks in advance....
