Backup the entire database. Backup the files on your FTP too.
Then read the wiki (and the 1.4 announcement):

1. backup entire database to local disk
2. create new database from Cpanel (if you have) and assign user
2. make a copy all tables into new database (with PHPMyAdmin, if you have)
3. make a new folder to test MyBB 1.4
4. upload all MyBB 1.4 files and copy configuration (config.php) from old forum directory.
5. do necessary modification inside config.php (new database/user)
5. do the upgrade and see if everything working.
6. If success, then upgrade your life forum.
