As the title says, I have an Intel® Pentium® Processor G2020
(3M Cache, 2.90 GHz) LGA1155 Running on my Motherboard.
Now the question is, can I replace the processor that I'm currently using with a new i5 or i3 ?
If so, can you suggest or choose below which is the best and cheap motherboard for you ?

You should be able to run those CPUs on that motherboard but you have to make sure that the BOIS version that is on the motherboard will support the CPU otherwise you will need to upgrade the BIOS.

here is a list of supported CPUs and the minimum BIOS version needed:
