i just joined here today in hope of overclocking my old pc.
i dont have any background in this and im quite afraid that i might destroy everything if i do things on my own.

here are my specs, i know they're quite low, but dont criticize me too much pls :) 

processor: AMD athlon II x2 245 2.9GHz
GPU: Nvidia Geforce GT 630 (2gb)
motherboard: Emaxx MCP61D3 - icafe
OS: Windows 7 ultimate 64-bit
ram: 2 pcs 2gb each kingston 1333 DDR3
i only have stock cooling system

i only want a little boost on my CPU to about 3.2-3.4 GHz ... if thats possible in what i have without adding any more hardware pls advice me on what to do :)

It's possible that you can overclock the cpu and gpu.

Which do you want to overclock?

Step 1 - research eg

I don't think the cpu will overclock much anyway. And to do so, you'll need a better than stock cpu cooler
You overclock it through the motherboard bios. Newer mobos have UEFI software to make it easier to do.
I wouldn't even attempt it with your motherboard.

The GT630 you can overclock by downloading and using Afterburner.
