You can try looking at the specifications and/or user manual for you laptop. Should be able to find them by googling the model number. They can hopefully tell you if your laptop is upgrade-able. But again, I really doubt it. Also, even if you could, I think it's pretty hard to even find mobile cpu/gpus for sale, and the few that I've seen were pretty expensive.

Almost certainly not. By and large, laptops aren't made to upgrade-able. Your laptop appears to be somewhat low budget, making it even less likely that it would support upgrades. You have integrated graphics (the gpu is built into the cpu chip), so your laptop likely won't have a slot/connector for you to attach a discrete gpu to. There's also a decent chance the cpu is soldered to the motherboard, and therefore not replaceable. Even if you could get a new cpu and gpu in there, the laptops cooling would probably be insufficient, as would the power supply.
