Does the motherboard 766715-501 have a replaceable CPU.
I was thinking of upgrading my pcu with an intel Xeon X5650 and was planning on getting an external graphics card as well. Can I do it??

CPUs are soldered in these—Intel and AMD. Since the PGA option has fallen out of favor, most laptops made after 2013 are soldered.
In addition, processors like the mobile Xeon are reserved for high-end, multi-thousand-dollar mobile workstations like the Zbook, Precision, and P series, not entry-level models like the 15-p. The processors need a PCH that is Xeon compatible and tend to be as thick and heavy as many laptops from when they were crazy enough to put a Pentium 4 in a laptop. Yes, they are that thick and heavy due to having much greater TDP ratings than any HQ Core i series or Ryzen laptop.
Yes, the performance of a Zbook with an Xeon/AMD FirePro (ISV-certified Radeon) is MUCH more capable, but you’re going to pay for it, new or used. I’d LOVE to take home a ZBook 15 or 17 with the 4K 95% sRGB/DCI-P3 display for the price of an EliteBook, but most of them need a lot of work or have unknown BIOS passwords that may or may not be crackable at the time of purchase.

You're absolutely right—most modern laptops, especially those made after 2013, have their CPUs soldered to the motherboard, making upgrades virtually impossible. This is especially true for high-performance mobile workstations like the ZBook, Precision, and P series, which use specialized components like mobile Xeon processors and require significant cooling systems due to their higher TDP. These machines are in a different league compared to entry-level models like the HP Pavilion 15-p, both in terms of performance and price.
While the allure of a Xeon/FirePro setup with a high-end 4K display is strong, it’s important to remember that these systems come at a premium, whether new or used. Even finding a deal on a used ZBook with such specs often means compromising on something, like dealing with an unknown BIOS password or other potential issues. It’s a trade-off between getting top-tier performance and handling the challenges that come with it. If you can find one at a reasonable price and are prepared for the potential hurdles, it could be a great investment, but it's definitely not for everyone.
