You can not OverClock that CPU. It requires a 'K' or 'UNLOCKED' i5.

Your CPU is locked, so you can't overclock. You can try to raise the motherboard's BCLK. Enter BIOS and see if it's possible. More likely than not, you can't, but it's worth a try.
If you can, rais it by 10MHz increments, and run the Prime95 stress test for about 1/2 hour. If it remains stable, then crank it up another notch. Repeat this until your system is unstable. When it it, then drop it down a few notches. Run Prime 95 for about 6 hours. If it runs good, then you have an overclock.

Word of Warning: raising the motherboard's BCLK also affects the RAM and GPU. I am not liable for any damage you cause by overclocking.

Depending on the board you have you maybe able to lock it at the turbo multiplier but that's about it unless you start raising the bclk(if the motherboard allows it) but I wouldn't suggest that for a novice overclocker.

You can OC it via a small FSB bump and some messing with turbo multipliers: http://forums.vortez.net/overclocking-cooling/5109-how-overclock-non-k-intel-cpus.html
