Yes you can. The motherboard uses a LGA775 socket and both CPUs use the LGA775 socket. Just make sure your BIOS is up to date and you'll be fine

Your motherboard will support a Intel 2 Quad processor just fine. As I said, it uses a LGA775 socket and it'll work just fine
The Intel Core 2 Quad processor was released in 2008. Your motherboard was released in 2009. You'll be fine Your computer is also a mini-tower, so it'll support:
Q9550
Q9650
Q9400
Q8300
Q8200

Hi lazy. Your computer's BIOS download is located here, Dell OptiPlex 760 Drivers.
Go ahead and install the latest BIOS update for your system and after the BIOS is updated, you will be able to upgrade to one of the CPU's that jmarket mentioned.
If it was me and I had the money for the upgrade I would get the best CPU that your motherboard supports which is this one, Intel Core 2 Quad Q9650 Processor 3.0 GHz 12 MB Cache Socket LGA775.
