Officially, no...you can't overclock it.  There's no fan you can install that would remedy the overheating and stability issues caused by overclocking your PC.  I wouldn't recommend overclocking a notebook even if you could easily do it.

 

You can research some 3rd-party options but the risk of hardware failure is on you.
