Not really. The CPU is not socketed.

Its not even a not really answer. The answer is no you cannot change the CPU ever, they are soldered directly to the board, plus the way that hardware changes a new CPU from 2013 would not be compatible with todays laptop. If you "plan" to upgrade a CPU in the future, get the best one today and plan to buy an entirely new computer down the road.

"No" is not techincally correct though... so "Not Really" fits better.
Soldered things can be removed and changed with the right equipment and skill, so saying no makes it sound impossible... so the correct answer would be...
it would be extremely difficult unless you already know enough that you don't need to ask the question.... or super expensive and very hard to find someone you can hire to do it...

doh123 is correct. difficult; not impossible.

Well you also need to figure compatibility, Apple will not update any sort of upgrade to make newer CPU's compatible.
So you show me where you would get the "upgrade" CPU and someone that would do the upgrade and the bloke dumb enough to pay for it and then we'll call it do-able. Until then there is no CPU upgrade.

You can swap out the entire logic board, assuming you can get one for a decent price.

hmmmmmmmmm do you think the one with the i5 processor will be good for 3-4 years of use ? i'll primarily be using mac os x because i found a good p2p to use . and oh yeah , i'm learning C++ so how good is mac os x with that ? perhaps VB ? gah that's not a problem i'll put windows on it too but however , the mac os x will work for 4 years right ?

If you get the expanded Apple care you will have an extended warranty for 3 years.
The i5 is a good processor and will run Windows 8, I expect. Any new OSX should also run without problem.
If you look 4 years back from today you will see that a then high end system would have been a core 2 duo of the Santa Rosa generation. An example is the T7200. Computer of this generations are still more than capable to do office, web browsing and programming work. If you invest some additional money in an SSD some time later it will give you a nice boost in performance.
For programming in OSX you can try netbeans. There is no VB in OSX. But you can program in C++ or Object C and maybe try Java also. If you want an easy script like VB for OSX look at Cocoa.
