    I would assume if you could crack the laptop open and find a processor that has the same socket type that you could do it. You'd have to reapply thermal paste and reset the cooler though. Bit of an undertaking but if you're handy with technology and can take your time it shouldn't be too tough.

    While it is possible to find another CPU on the same socket, you miss the bigger picture. In notebooks the CPU is soldered on the motherboard itself so in theory it can be changed, but in practice, not by anybody but by some people with some special soldering station for this purpose.
