No, you can't replace neither of those CPUs, as they are soldered onto the logic board, thus not being detachable.

What do you mean by "also I hear and iMac and MacMini"?

You second link makes me second guessing my comment about soldered CPUs.
Maybe the following can help: http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Device/iMac_Intel_20"_EMC_2105_and_2118

Also have a look around for similar threads about replacing CPUs on white iMacs via MRoogle (my sig).
THANKS!
