Is there any kind of workaround till 3.1 is ready to use?

I just tried a workaround but it's really dirty. It works but I don't know much about svgs...

http://jsfiddle.net/SirDerpington/5Hkud/1/

Basically I just reinsert all initial settings und play a bit with the widths of each svg. I coulnd't figure out how or when I should reset the width of the .graph svg so i just put a overflow: hidden; on the itemSelector div. Otherwise a horizontal scrollbar would appear.

var domains = $('.graph').children('svg');
var width = Number(domains.first().attr('width'));
var x = 0;
domains.each(function () {
    $(this).attr('x', x);
     x += width;
 });
 $('.graph-legend').attr('width', x);

I know..not really smart but it works. Is there maybe another possible, easier solution?

You seems to be missing the point of the update() feature.

update() will be used to update a date, to change that date associated value, so the cell on the calendar will eventually change color.

What you're trying to do is moving cells around, and not related to update().
What feature are you looking for ?

Oh well...I indeed missunderstood the update() feature. I just read the title "...to update data"

What I'm looking for is to dynamically change the data which sould be showed.
Let's say I have a table on my page. It displays a list of users and their transactions on a daily basis. On page load the graph shows the transactions per day for all users. (so if each of e.g. 10 users made 10 transactions on a day the graph shows 100 transactions for this day)

But in my table I have an option like a select dropdown where you can choose a user to only show his transactions. After choosing a specific user it should only show the graph with his transactions. Therefore I would do an ajax call and afterwards exchange the data source of the CalHeatMap.
See this jsfiddle http://jsfiddle.net/SirDerpington/5Hkud/. (same example as above but without my "workaround")

But I couldn't find much about updating the data source dynamically. I hope my desired feature is clear now.

I see now, what you're seeking is exactly what the update() API is intended for: dynamically change the content of the calendar.

ETA for this feature is before monday.

Perfect! Looking forward to this feature.
