The 2010 13" C2D can take 16GB of RAM. Anything earlier cannot. Your capacity may be 4GB or 8GB: Use macsales.com as a reference instead of generic sites like crucial.com which may not offer the full memory capacity.
You can (and probably should) also upgrade your storage - hard drive if you like, SSD if you can afford it.

I also have a 2.4 GHz C2D, running 8GB RAM -- the max (2x4GB sticks).
I depends on the model year of your machine, see all of them here:
http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/macbook_pro/index-macbookpro.html
Earlier years only allow up to 4 GB, 8 GB, etc., so you'll need to tell us which year or the model identifier.
You need to be precise about the year and size, though.
There was a 15" and 17" 2.4GHz C2D in 2007, and a 15" in early 2008. These have a max of 6GB (4 + 2).
The 15" 2.4GHz C2D in late 2008 has a max of 8GB.
The 13" 2.4GHz C2D in 2010 has a max of 16GB.

I have the same late '08 MBP (15" in my case) -- 8 GB max RAM.
I've been running 10.8.4 since it was released; zero issues.
On the HD, I'd suggest a 256GB SSD to see a noticeable responsiveness improvement when reading/writing, coupled with putting your 250 GB HDD into the optical drive bay. I did the HDD move with a $50 MCE optibay kit/bundle that included an external enclosure for the Superdrive -- lets you still have a DVD drive available via USB for the rare times your need one.
I have a 2.4 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo, can i put 2 8gb of ram it total of 16 Gigs??
