I purchased TurboTax Deluxe and downloaded the
installation executable. I was able to manually
download the update file. This way I can
easily reinstall the software.

However, I could not find a way to manually download
the state (specifically California) manual install
and update files. Is there a way I can do this?

Unfortunately not. It describes doing the download, but it's an automatic
update. i.e. it doesn't allow me to save an update file so that I can
back it up to be used at a later date.

Are you sure it is not saved to your hard drive? You may have to search the
HD for it but I would expect the file to be saved somewhere.
