If it's locked then you can't overclock it. Processors that are made for overclocking will have a "K" after them, for example the A10-6800K. Other processors can be overclock just by little.

Intel cpus that have turbo enabled can be overclocked a little but it takes a k series chip to seriously overclock as was mentioned. All AMD chips can be overclocked some, the FX, Black Edition, and K series AMD chips are made for more serious overclocking.

The i3's do not have turbo so their multiplier is fully locked. There is no way around it. You can only change the multiplier on turbo enabled chips and k series.
