I think you'll be better off if you buy a USB external writer(even DVD writers are available)
(http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=8301198&st=external+writers+usb&type=product&id=1172881770621)
Because the replacement of the in-built CD-rom with a CD/DVD burner might be costly BUT it is possible.
Contact your manufacturer for the details

If your laptop is old (5 years or older) get a new laptop. If that's not within your budget then ensure your laptop has USB connection. (see * for more details about USB)
External CD/DVD burners are usually backward compatible so your old laptop should support any burners on the market. (see ** for example of external USB at Best Buy)

Check with Sony. They may market a replacement cd burner that will replace the cd reader and I suspect they do.
If not, see if you can get an external device that connects to the notebook via USB.

Yes, you can attach an external CD/DVD burner to your laptop via USB port. To get a great deal, I would recommend going to www.newegg.com. They also offer great reviews from previous customers who purchased the device earlier.
External burners here:

Once you attach the burner you should install any required drivers. Newegg offers both fullsized and portable external burners.

Yes you can buy a whole new cd drive to replace the one you have. I don't know exactly what king you would need but you don't have to buy a new laptop. Best Buy or Comp USA should be able to help you out with that.

yeah you can. it's called an external cd writer and as long as you don't need one for dvds they are really cheap ($5 or so). just make sure it says EXTERNAL and that you have a usb port on your laptop (you should have at least 2)
