Yes, you can, but plan on probably paying more for the motherboard alone than you did for the PC, assuming you could find the part, and I would have no idea where you could find one.
Below is the link to the service manual.

Chapter 3 has the list of supported motherboards with their HP part numbers.
This would be the one with the best processor...

Hi:
The processor is not upgradable since it is soldered to the motherboard.
It has been that way for years.
I think the last Intel notebook models you could upgrade the processor on would be a couple with certain Intel 4th gen processors, and then most 3rd gen or older processors could be upgraded.
