As @FabianBlechschmidt said - the customer entity doesn't have a country, the customer has an address, which has a country.

Depending on what address you wanted to update exactly, you could use something like this

$_customer = Mage::getModel('customer/customer')->load($customerId);

Then load the respective model,

$_addresssModel = $_customer->getDefaultBillingAddress();
$_addresssModel = $_customer->getDefaultShippingAddress();

Then set the country ID,

$_addresssModel->setCountryId('x')->save();
