No.
You can get a graphic cards for the express slot and the pci equivalent slot (forgot the name 
)
Yes if you are an experienced solderer and know how graphic cards work

some laptops allow you to remove it and plug another in, the alienware laptops allow you to do this (but thats the only one that ive seen that has that)
