I have an i7-5500U 2.4 Ghz and i just realized that this is not enough for gaming
Can i replace it with another Quad Core CPU?
 
Solution
The quad cores have higher TDPs anyway, so even if it were socketed, your laptop's (non-upgradable) cooling system wouldn't handle it.

Nope, in 99% of the laptops, you can't replace the CPU or GPU, I heard people that un-solder CPU from motherboard and replace them, there's actually a IT shop near me that does it but once I asked them about it, they said they always have about 35% success rate, so I wouden't even risk it if I ware you.
