No, laptop CPUs use a completely different socket type. It will not fit in a desktop PC.

Most probably not. Laptop CPUs are made to use less power than desktop ones. The socket itself may not match.

Laptop CPU's use totally different socket types, Your best bet is to buy new from a online site.

nope...you can't do it by yourself, either ask A+ certified technician or buy a new laptop..second option would be more advisable.
