Unfortunately that is not possible.
The processor is a bga type and it is integrated into (soldered onto) the system board.
It is not a socketed processor.
I am a volunteer forum member. If my suggestion helped you solve your issue, help others by marking that post as the accepted solution. Say thanks by clicking on the Yes button next to the "was this reply helpful?"

The i5-480M can come as either a BGA (soldered to the motherboard) or PGA988 socketed processor.
Your notebook has the socketed type processor.
All of the processors in the g6-1000 Intel model series can be removed and replaced.
See this recent discussion regarding a processor upgrade on a similar model sold in Spain.
The person installed the Intel Core i7-640M and reported that it is working well.
You can also read the service manual in the discussion I posted for additional information.
