If you want to call the update catalog functionality yourself : A 
Zcatalog has a method refreshCatalog which you can use (take a look at 
ZCatalog.py).

If you want to remove the brain you could call the 
_catalog.uncatalogObject method.However, when you have brains which 
point to non-existent objects you should reindex the catalog, as 
something went wrong while (un)indexing these objects.
