I have read that Cisco prime can manage and push updates/patches to Cisco devices , does Cisco Prime have any vulnerability scanner in built ? , and also can it manage FMC as well ?
Kindly advise.
Thanks

Cisco Prime Infrastructure is designed primarily for management of wireless, IOS-based switches and routers (and supports ASA software somewhat but not particularly well).
As @balaji.bandi mentioned, Cisco Prime Infrastructure cross references what it knows about the software running on managed devices with Cisco's PSIRT database to produce a report for you. It does not do any sort of vulnerability scanning but rather it does an analysis of the actual running configurations to tell you if:
a. the version has a vulnerability and
b. your configuration is susceptible to that vulnerability
It does not manage Firepower Management Center, Firepower Threat Defense or Firepower service modules in any meaningful way - mostly an up/down ping or very simple SNMP polling.

i do not believe it support FMC ( i know it support ASA with SFP)
here is the support matrix.
I believe PI support PSIRT report (not used it, since Cisco smart collector deliver PSIRT for us).
