On a laptop? Not really. It would cost a lot and would be VERY difficult. You're better off getting a new one if your CPU has somehow died. If not, don't worry about it, that CPU is pretty decent for a laptop.

Changing a laptop CPU isn't difficult. It can be time consuming, but not difficult. Just have to take your time and be careful. Your best bet is find out what motherboard your laptop has and see if there are any other chips known to work in it. I upgraded my old Compaq from a T2310 to a T7700. It wasn't on the list of supported CPU's, but was in the middle of the listed ones and it worked just fine. 
@logainofhades Thanks for the reply. I'm thinking of replacing it with a Core i5 or an i7 (Specifically, an i5-520E). But the biggest problem would be how to get one. I'm pretty much certain there is on ebay, right?
by the way, i5-520E link
