Hi:

 

The processor your notebook has is an integral part of the motherboard.

 

The processor cannot be upgraded without replacing the motherboard with one listed in the service manual for your notebook's model series that may come with a better processor.

 

The cost of the motherboard alone (if you could even find one for sale), would cost as much as buying a newer notebook with a better processor already included.
