Depends on what they used if you remove the CPU heatsink you mite have to remove the CPU with it. If the heatcontact was a glue type then u cant without removeing the proccesor
ou cant download anything with acer aspie its mad
its a good software
Try this DIY on removing a CPU/GPU heatsink...
No, you can remove it if you want.

http://www.insidemylaptop.com/clean-cooling-module-acer-aspire-3620/ No explicit instructions on removing the fan, but it will help you get it open all the way to the fan. Also, you'll probably find the heatsink fins are incredibly dusty and perhaps contributing to the overheating that's prompting you to change the fan.
To reboot a Acer Aspire 3680 laptop without using a recovery disk you should press Alt F10 on startup, if this is done correctly it should say loading Windows Files. If you are still having problems you should seek professional help from a computer technician.
Around $200 to $400.As of 3/2013, this is a pretty good budget "Mini Acer Laptop". It is actually a chromebook. ( http://www.google.com/intl/en/chrome/devices/acer-c7-chromebook.html#ac-c7 )
A heatsink and fan is required. Without at least a heatsink, the processor would get way too hot in a very short period of time. This overheating of the processor could permanently damage it and render it useless.
Usually no, unless the box also comes with a heatsink. The paste will be on the bottom of the heatsink, not on the top of the processor.
Heatsink uses what they call passive cooling where as liquid cooling systems use active cooling.
To improve the thermal bond between the chip and the heatsink. if the surface of the chip is uneven and the surface of the heatsink is also uneven then you wouldn't get anything close to 100% surface contact between them. To remove the gaps you use a compound that has a good thermal (heat) conductivity to fill in the gaps between the two objects.
