Go to the manufcaturer for possible CPU upgrades but don't be too optimistic. Likewise, the laptop's manufacturer or any major RAM manufacturer would be able to tell you how much RAM you can add and what model would be best.

Upgrades of the CPU are very limited in a laptop, if it can be done at all. You will also void your warranty and could possibly ruin the machine. If you are not happy with it it you would probably be better off selling and getting something you want.
