You can, if you're willing to pay the price (they're expensive) and lose your warranty.
Bear in mind that this system uses the older HM57 chipset and socket G-- not the second-generation Core i HM67 and Socket G2 -- so while you can use the first-generation i5s, you CANNOT use the new Sandy Bridge second-generation i5 CPUs.

I wouldn't bet money on it, no -- even if the CPU works, you're putting an awfully power-hungry CPU in a very small system that may not handle the heat generated very well.
