Answer
I suspect you have one stick of 4GB of ram in it at the moment. So:
- Download and run CPU-Z (its' free). On the memory tab, confirm that only one socket is populated, and write down the size, make and timings.
- Buy another module of the same make, size and timings, and install in the other dimm socket
The idea here is to enable your memory to run in dual-channel mode, which only happens when you have two identical memory modules. Dual-channel provides about 30% boost in real-world speed performance. Because your hd4000 graphics use the same memory as the rest of the system (it doesn't have its own vram), you'll also see a boost in your gaming performance (though it won't be 30%, more like 10-15%, but that's not bad).

Answer
You wont be able to upgrade the graphics card on your mac laptop, nor any mac laptop. You can only upgrade the ram. See the games minimum requirement and check to see if your mac pro meets them.
