Laptop cards are either impossible, or extremely difficult to replace. They are also very expensive.
If you would like to upgrade your laptop card your best bet will be to see if the manufacturer offers this. This would involve sending them the laptop and letting them do it.
Otherwise, you will have to find out the EXACT details about the port etc... of your current card, find out whether it is replaceable, then you'll probably need to scour websites such as ebay to see if anyone is selling cards that match.

As has been said... it's a no-go unfortunately.
If you want to get more 3D performance, you're going to have to buy a completely new laptop or better yet, build yerself a desktop
