Considering you can buy a full working laptop with an 2nd to 4th gen Intel i5 for maybe $150, it's not really worth updating a system with a Core 2 CPU.

You may be able to add RAM to the system and swap drive for a solid state but not really worth the cost and time.

It's impossible to get a newer gen CPU in it, maybe a Core 2 Quad if your CPU is in a removable socket but even then it's limited by the power to the socket and BIOS so anything you try there is a chance it won't work.
