Possibly.

You need to identify the chipset used in your motherboard before we can make any comments.  Use an application like Speccy https://www.piriform.com/speccy or SIW https://www.gtopala.com/ to find that information.  You may also need a BIOS upgrade (if one is available) to support an i5 chip if your chipset is compatible.

why would you upgrade the cpu ?   in almost all cases - you see no benefit from it - and it costs much for nothing then
if you want to speed up your system, best install an SSD - if you don't have one yet; and increase the ram
