Highly doubt, since it's a pretty old computer you probably would have to disarm the whole thing just to find the cpu
 
It would be worth it if I could make this 100$ computer faster, ya know. but is it Possible to do so or would I have to change the PCU, in which I dont think I would want to do. I am even willing to clip away and resolder the pcu if I have too. So, what I need to know is it possible to replace the Celeron m with a Pentium M with no other addons and if so then what else would I have to do.

seeing that your new here I won't blast you too bad, but a simple google search of " HP pavilion ze4900 processor replacement" found your solution, which after looking at prices, is definitely not worth it and a lot more than the $100 your thinking about spending. Here is the 2nd result that came up http://www.sparepartswarehouse.com/HP,Pavilion-Notebook,ZE4900,Laptop,Processors-CPU.aspx
