Generally speaking, you can't upgrade a laptop CPU. A lot of the time they're soldered to the motherboard. If it's not soldered, it's replaceable 'in theory' only. BIOS likely supports only the CPU it comes with etc etc.

The i5-5200U is a pretty damn good mobile CPU. If you need something substantially better, buying an entirely new laptop would be the best option.
