not very sure you will be able to retrive those details if you dont have auditing enabled or captured trace.

what exactly are you trying to achieve here ? Do you want to know who updated the records or do you want to get the records in the same state as the before the updation ?
If you want the former then I am afraid it is not possible without having some kind of auditing or traces but if you want the later then it is possible if you have log backups and have a rough idea at what time the updation happened so that you can restore it to a time before the updation occurred.
PBUH
