Marshmallow has not been released so you will have to wait.

If you are still on 4.0 I think it's a safe bet that there won't be an official update for your device.

Like all mobile OS's Android has to be built for the specific device. So if the manufacturer doesn't do that, your only chance is if someone else does (a custom ROM) or if you learn how to do it yourself (a lot of work).

If you want it here and now your best bet is to buy a Nexus (5, 6 or 9) as those are the devices for which a preview build is currently available.

We can upgrade to test Android M but Google Developers suggests to test on Nexus devices.
You can find more info in this website: https://developer.android.com/preview/index.html

That's not a suggestion. Those SPECIFIC nexus devices have the preview. If you do not have one of those nexus devices, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO INSTALL 6.0 ON YOUR DEVICE
