The best upgrades you can do are invest in a good snare and cymbals. You can get a decent sound out of even the cheapest drumset, but a versatile snare will last you forever and dramatically change the way you play. And good cymbals you can get one at a time, used cymbals can sometimes sound better than new ones and are cheaper.
Depending on what you can afford, something like this or this.
For cymbals, check out mycymbal to see what sounds good, and then look on ebay or craigslist for those cymbals. Something like Zildjian A's or A Customs, Sabian AA's or AAX's, or Paiste Alpha's or 2002's.
Playing drums ain't cheap, but you can upgrade these critical parts if you're patient and know what you want. Good luck!
