can my cpu be overclocked?

If you've never OCed anything this really isn't the way to start. Beyond what was said above and what you will likely do to your machine, you can even create a fire hazard doing this. I've avoided ever doing it for those reasons alone and I have overclockable chips and cooling designed for it.

Also, my understanding is Intel chips that can be OCed have a K in the name. As was said, it's likely not even possible.
