To put it ever so bluntly, you can't. :| First off, it's a notebook. Second off, it's an integrated chip, which can only really play any game made below the year of 2000.

It doesn't really matter if you can get updates for it, it is just a low-end graphics card.  You can't really do anything about it, because it's a laptop. :(
