Yes, you need to change the autoversion property and you need to set this property with a "false" value before updating the content.
In this way the node will be versioned only when you will invoke the check-in operation.
Here all the details in the Alfresco wiki:
http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Versioning_Behaviour#Configuring_the_Auto-Version_Behaviour_for_Property-Only_Updates_.283.2.29

To define the major version, during the check-in operation you need to set a boolean to define if you would like to change the version from 1.x to 2.x.
Hope this helps.
