IS MY DELL 0JJW8N COMPATIBLE WITH A CORE 2 QUAD

one of the problems you'd run into here is the I/O shield is attachced, you'd have to go all jank and cut a hole. Also old motherboards can be expensive sometimes, depends on what you're getting, sometimes more than they were new.
This is the list of CPUs that Shipped with the 220 and 220s I think
N654J Wolfdale Dual Core E8600 3.33GHz
D923J Wolfdale Dual Core E8500 3.16GHz
06YMG Wolfdale Dual Core E7600 3.06GHz
H399J Wolfdale Dual Core E8400 3.00GHz
T116N Wolfdale Dual Core E7500 2.93GHz
9HP6Y Wolfdale Dual Core E6300 2.80GHz
Y442H Wolfdale Dual Core E7300 2.66GHz
YG8MC Wolfdale Dual Core E5200 2.50GHz
K151N Wolfdale Dual Core E4700 2.80GHz
Anything outside of those I doubt.
At that point, I'd just get a new used machine, there's a lot of dell optiplex towers that businesses dump on ebay, in the 100$ neighborhood you'd get a quad core i5 or i7 that's either sandy or ivy. Slap a 25$ SSD in there and it's a good machine. Get a regular tower not a thin one so you can put full height cards in there.
