Hi:

 

The CPU is an integral part of the motherboard and the only way to upgrade the CPU would be to replace the motherboard with one listed in the service manual for your notebook that comes with a better processor.

 

That would cost more than buying a different model with a better CPU already included.

 

Below is the link to the service manual.  You can see that only motherboards are listed, and in the removal and replacement procedure section, there is no procedure to replace just the processor.
