BGA isn't a socket type - it means ball-grid array. These CPUs are not replaceable.
The processor in this model is soldered to the system board. In order to upgrade, you'll need to replace the entire mainboard -- which will come with the new CPU soldered to it. If you replace the board with one having nVidia graphics, note that you will also need to replace the heatsink assembly (the one for your existing Intel board won't fit the nVidia board) and you may need to replace your power adapter (the Intel GPU requires far less power than the nVidia, so you'll need an upgraded AC adapter).
The boards you're looking for are listed here:
