Hi:

Below is the link to the service manual for your notebook.

The supported AMD processors can be found in chapter 1.

I know which 1 is in it now I want to possibly upgrade to a better 1 and was wondering if that's possible with this model of laptop

Then look at the list of supported AMD processors in chapter 1 of the service manual I gave you and select one that is better than the A6-3400 processor your notebook has.
