I don't know for certain but I would be a bit surprised if Robolab works with
the Spybot bricks. There would have to have been a new release with
modifications specifically made to support the Spybot. Searching these
newsgroups suggests that support for the Spybot was never added to Robolab.

NQC, on the other hand, includes full support for programming the Spybot and API
functions designed specifically to take advantage of all the capabilities
specific to the Spybot brick.

I'm not sure if MacNQC was updated with all the Spybot support but I think it
was. The BricxCC help files or the latest NQC Guide PDF file are probably your
best bet for learning what API functions can be used with the Spybot and how to
control its motors and sensors. BricxCC includes several small programs for the
Spybot written in NQC. BricxCC also supports programming the Spybot in LASM and
MindScript if you want to try something other than NQC.

The Spybot firmware is onboard the brick permanently and it cannot be replaced.
There is no need (or ability) to download a firmware to the Spybot bricks.
