No, that motherboard does not support overclocking. You could try to increase the Base Clock, but that offers very little to no gains at all, and is not an option available on all B75 motherboards.
The same applies to the i7 3770 - you could try raising the Base Clock, but it would not make much of a difference. If you want to overclock, you'll need the i7 3770K and a Z77/Z75 motherboard.

Apart from perhaps 2% boost from BCLK overclocking, no you can't.
I7-3770K will perform better at stock because it has a stock clock of 3.5 vs 3.4 for the 3770.
What is your budget?
What will this pc be used for?
Do you have a prospective list of parts?
I assume you have a good deal on a used 3770K which might be OK. Say < $100.
Otherwise, buying new, a 8th gen processor and parts will be better.

The i5 8400 is a great chip, but you can't overclock that either. It'll definitely beat the 3770, in single core as well as multi-core. A B360 board is enough for the chip, and those aren't too expensive. I would frankly recommend going for the 8400, the newer platform and extra cores will give you a good experience for years to come.

Take in consideration that for the 8400 you need to change ram too, you will need DDr4 ram, while the 3770 works with ddr3
