Wait to do upgrades until you need the bike to do something you want it to do it can’t do with existing components.
Or, when stuff is needing to be replaced. For example, if that’s an NX or GX cassette, upgrade to XO or XX1 if you want the weight savings when that cassette wears out. The bike is really capable as is for now.
If you want to personalize with colored accents, you can to that pretty easy. You already have light blue pedals. Maybe matching grips, or you can get a custom headset cover, accent bolts, etc.
Get comfortable on the bike before swapping more expensive parts
No need to upgrade anything on that bike mate, it’s very good as is. Deore drivetrain and brakes are a perfect workhorse, rear shock is excellent. Generally the Trek (Bontrager) components are quite decent too.
If anything you might one day look at upgrading the fork, but that’s not a given either.
