It's easy really. All you have to do is buy a brand new computer.

You do not seem very computer savvy, so I'll explain. About 99% of laptops, regardless of brands are not upgradable except for RAM and hard drives (and even then, some computers have soldered RAM and proprietary hard drives, like the current retina MBP). Usually all components will be soldered to an electronics board, often called motherboard, mainboard or logicboard.

You cannot upgrade anything on those boards, everything is soldered in. Desoldering and changing components is technically doable, but the costs are prohibitive and there's quite a good chance of making an expensive paperweight out of the mainboard.

Buy a new MacBook.

You can only upgrade RAM and HDD/SSD. Nothing else can be upgraded, because it's soldered.
