I have a Toshiba Satellite C75D-A, am i able to upgrade my processors? it is currently a Quad core 1.5.

Notebooks generally have the CPU soldered to the motherboard and cannot be upgraded after the fact.

I suspect your notebook has a Kabini 'Jaguar' APU which is soldered (BGA769). The Trinity/Richland mobile APUs (FS1-FS1r2) are generally upgradable.

If you wish to 'snappy things up' you should clone the 5400RPM HDD on the notebook to an SSD ...

No, you will not be able to upgrade the APU.

Your Toshiba has an A4-5000 APU; known as Kabini. The socket type is BGA769 (FT3). Anytime the socket type has "BGA" in it that means the APU / CPU is soldered directly into the motherboard.

This allows for lower production costs and potentially thinner laptops / tablets.

Typically the only laptops that allow you to upgrade parts are the ones that allow you to configure them online the the vendors site. Even then you may only have the choice of one processor. You will never find a laptop that is distributed mass market retail (best buy and others) that will allow you to change processors. Now MSI and Alienware and probably Asus gaming machines will have models that can have the major components upgraded.
