What do you mean by decrypt? Are you asking whether you must decrypt your wallet before upgrading? If so, no you don't. However, it is advised to backup your wallet. Go to the data directory and copy the wallet.dat file to a safe location. Then you can install Bitcoin Core 0.10.2. Once it is installed, copy your wallet.dat file back to where you copied it from. Then start Bitcoin Core. Any Bitcoin you have will still be there.
