Open it and see if the CPU is in a socket you can remove or soldered. if it's in a socket, you can see if your model comes with an i5, and try that i5 model.

i3? Are you sure that's correct? Asus spec page shows this model only shipped with a Pentium or Celeron processor - both of which cannot be upgraded.
