Yes*

 

*but it depends.

Of course you need to get a compatible CPU, have the right BIOS installed, need to clean off your cooler and apply new thermal paste to it.

In that case it's just simply taking out the old CPU and installing the new one. Kind of like shown in this video:

(P.S. unless you have a Celeron/Pentium/i3 right now, the 9400f wouldn't be an upgrade at all if you have a different i5 right now).
