Update PowerPC G5

My parents have my old PowerPC G5 (Dual 1.8 GHz) and have recently run into problems where a lot of the software (Safari, Chrome etc) have been coming up that they've been using an older version and that it might not work properly.

My question is, can I do anything to update the CPU or has it reached it's limi? Can I install an intel processor?

Your computer's maximum OS is 10.5.8; it can't be upgraded to have an Intel CPU. If desired, use TenFourFox or an older iCab version as a web browser.
