I need to have the SystemUpdate functionality from the Client Object Model. Is there any way I can do it since the ListItem.SystemUpdate() does not exist?

Another solution would be to disable the EventReceiver on the list, but I don't know how to do that either.

Thanks

Client Object Model have the limitations with regards to the way a List Item Update works. More specifically there is no SystemUpdate() type functionality available in Client Object Model, like in the 'full' SharePoint Object Model.

If you really want to develop his functionality, then write your own custom web service that updates the document metadata using SystemUpdate so a new version isn't created and deploy it to your SharePoint Server.
