I have on old all in one computer and was wondering if I could update the CPU on it and if possible what CPU would be the better and fastest to put on. Right now I have a: Pentium(R) Dual -Core CPU E5200 @ 2.5 GHz. Please if possible let me know what I can do.

There is usually a fair amount of risk involved in upgrading laptop CPUs. You can look at the Pentium E6300. Same architecture, TDP and package specification.

Whether your motherboard's BIOS supports it or will need an upgrade (and whether that is available is up to you. Might have to also upgrade the INtel chipset drivers etc. All that for at best a moderate increase in processor power.
