Will there be microcode updates for the E8400 C0 stepping CPU as I have seen a list provided by Intel that Core 2 processors are affected by Spectre?

No, the Core 2 Duo E8400 is actually part of the processor generations that preceded the First Generation Intel Core processors.

Not a chance. You can only upgrade to processors in the same family, compatible with the socket and supported by the board's BIOS. For a list of the processors that you can upgrade to, you need to contact the manufacturer of your motherboard.

My personal opinion? Dump this ancient crap and get something much more modern.
