I am noob to this stuff (upgrading,overclocking,etc...) ,don't know if this is possible so im trying to find out if i can upgrade my (CPU) AMD APU E1 - 6010 1,86 ghz + (GPU) AMD R2 to any other APU. 
Laptop is Lenovo G50-45 80E3 and socket is BGA769.

I was trying to find some useful information but whenever i find some its too complicated or it not fully specified.

You can remove the cpu by using hot air, but you must buy a cpu with the balls on it and inspect it. Be sure to buy a second motherboard so you do not ruin your original, if your upgrade works, swap your original motherboard with your new one. You can go back and update your bios settings. Be sure to get a cpu with balls on it. Before you attempt to do this, use kapton tape (about 5 layers) then First, try heating up the cpu, then poke it with tweezers and if it moves, go ahead and take it off. After you have the old cpu off, you must have a good soldering iron and some desolder wick, go ahead and desolder any extra solder, be very light on the motherboard while doing this. After that, align the new cpu and make sure it is held down in place and heat it up. Let it cool for a few minutes and poke it with tweezers. If it is solid. It should work. I do not guarantee that this will work. Like I said, get a second motherboard while doing this. If this is no help, reply to me.
