The CPU is not soldered, so it can be replaced. However, all CPUs of this generation have the same GPU circuitry, so there's no upgrade.
There is a version of this system that shipped with AMD video - that board has the GPU soldered to the mainboard, so you'd need to replace the mainboard to upgrade the video.
There is no video card in the system, nor any way to add one - you're looking at about $275-300 for a mainboard, plus the cost of whatever CPU you want (you'll be limited in CPU choices, since most CPUs of this generation are not socketed - they're BGA CPUs that are soldered to the system board).
