Laptop CPUs are soldered to the motherboard, they cannot be upgraded, downgraded, or replaced.
You would have to buy a motherboard that not only has a better processor soldered to it, but it also has to be compatible with your laptop.

Thats why i use a Computer.How can I upgrade my laptop's processor?Changing the CPU is a difficult task and you will need to completely open up your laptop so that you motherboard is the only thing sitting in front of you. You would need to figure out what socket type your motherboard accepts to know which CPU will fit into it. Download CPUid (aka CPUz) and the first tab will tell you what socket type you have.
You could easily mess up your laptop trying to do this by yourself. Even if you do manage this, it is hard to say whether or not the original heatsink will be enough to cool your new faster processor.
