There is no way to buy a laptop cpu upgrade with out spending more than the cost of a new laptop. If you're really attached, buy another laptop with the same socket and cannibalize the cpu.

Here a list of cpu's that should fit in your laptop, be aware though that can still be limitations by the mainboard itself.
