Is it possible to change the notebook processor? null

Almost never or never. Notebook processors are usually soldered on the motherboard and the cooling system is specific to that processor. Even if you were a journeyman at soldering and could remove and replace the processor and, on top of that, put a new cooling system on the processor, odds are you would never get it back in the original case. Everything would now be a different size. Desktop computers, yes, you can usually swap a processor and even the motherboard with a better processor than the old motherboard could handle. Notebooks, it's usually the memory and the hard drive/SSD that can be upgraded and sometimes not even that.
