If you upgrade the mobo chances are you will have to upgrade the CPU, and memory as well. And only have 2 IDE devices. Hard-drive and Optical Drive. It can be done, but is basically building a whole new machine.

Yes you can so long as you get a motherboard with the same dimensions it should work. Just make sure the ram and processor are suitable for the new board.

It's possible. You have to check form and fit, so that all the connectors on the backplane match up. Manytimes HP makes their motherboards special for their cases, but not always. You have to research it. Check the specs on your model. ASRock makes good cheap replacement motherboards check out them.
