I want my processor to perform better with games? How do you overclock it?

This depends on what you have.

If you have something like an i5 750 you could be messing with ram speeds, BCLOCKs, multipliers and the VCORE amongst other things.

If you had a i5 2500K for example, you would just adjust the multiplier and change the voltage until you got your CPU stable at acceptable temperatures.

Processor specs are intel pentium dual cpu E220 2.40 Ghz

Honestly you are better off hitting google on the specifics because this is pretty technical stuff and there is much to know, and plenty of people who write this up in great detail.

Also don't expect a massive change in performance, even if you go +20% on the CPU frequencies this will not translate into +20% overall computing speed, and ingame you may get 5-10%.
Obviously you can OC massively but there are limits to what your components can take.
