Only Dell can tell you positively what processors other than the installed processor are supported by your board.
I feel sure that since the Q6600 is supported there would be support for some Core 2 Duo's, but most likely they would have to be 65nm architecture. The E5300 you are asking about is 45nm architecture and I seriously doubt that you motherboard would support that processor.
