Sadly, its really not possible.

Apple changes things around to such a point you really can't fit a different series logic board into your system,. Here's the EveryMac spec sheet for you system and the first possible i5 system:

* [http://www.everymac.com/ultimate-mac-lookup/?search_keywords=MacBookPro5,5|MacBookPro5,5]
* [http://www.everymac.com/ultimate-mac-lookup/?search_keywords=MacBookPro8,1|MacBookPro8,1]

As you can see the ports alone are different and are not aligned the same within the case. You can also review these IFIXIT guides:

* [guide|1363|MacBook Pro 13" Unibody Mid 2009 Logic Board Replacement]
* [guide|5154|MacBook Pro 13" Unibody Early 2011 Logic Board Replacement].

As you can see there are enough differences in the heat sink and the mount points that you'll need to over come.

Basically, it will be cheaper to buy a used newer model than retrofit a newer logic board into your system.
