I'm planning to buy an MSI GE 70 laptop with Intel Core i5-4200H and GTX 860M. Can I replace my CPU to i7-4700HQ and GTX 870M or 880M later ?

The GE70 does have an option with Core i7-4700HQ but the GTX 870M/880M is only available on GT70, so i'm not sure about the compatibility.

Don't think so... The BIOS may not support it. And, judging by the motherboard, it doesn't seems as it have MxM.

so both the CPU and GPU are not upgradable ?

CPU is upgradeable, since it is in a socket, and not a Ultrabook CPU. But the motherboard does not have an MxM slot, so the GPU can't be upgraded.
