Hi,
I can't find the full specs of your computer:
But I can reply here using information from other G4 computer:
(a) For CPU: you need to replace the motherboard too and this is a very expensive upgrade. Please read the third manual on the following link (page 84):
http://support.hp.com/us-en/product/HP-Pavilion-g4-Notebook-PC-series/5186805/model/5374496/manuals
(b) Definitely a No, you can't up to 90% of laptops can't do this part, including yours.
Regards.

Hi,
There is a manual called Maintenance and Service Guide on the above link. It tells you (on page 5) how much RAM you can install:
Supports the following configurations:
● 8192-MB total system memory (4096×2; not supported with Windows® 7 32-bit operating system)
● 6144-MB total system memory (4096×1 + 2048×1)
● 4096-MB total system memory (4096×1 or 2048×2)
● 3072-MB total system memory (2048×1 + 1024×1)
● 2048-MB total system memory (2048×1 or 1024×2)
● 1024-MB total system memory (1024×1; not supported with Windows 7 64- or 32-bit operating system)
It also shows you part number and how to add/replace RAM on page #53.
Regards.
