Why do you need to change the month ?

You wanted the latest files if available. So you start from back. If there ever is a dec file, use that, else keep going backwards. In your case, if jan is there copy that as well and then do the same with feb etc. and keep going on.

For your second part, there should be a break statement. I forgot to add that

Code:
#! /usr/bin/ksh

YEAR=`date +%y`
month="dec nov oct sep aug jul jun may apr mar feb jan"
for mon in $month
do
file=`ls *"$mon"* 2>/dev/null`
FILE=${file%%_$mon$YEAR}
[[ -f "$file" ]] && cp $file $FILE && break;
done

Let me know if break works. Else try an exit in it place.
