What do you mean by replace?

Use your distro's package manager to upgrade your MySQL packages.
Some one has already mentioned Percona; they build RPM/DEB packages
for all the major distributions out there.

*Before* doing this exercise on your production server, I would
strongly recommend that you carry out exercise on a prototype server
(using a copy of your production data) and make sure you work out all
the kinks (if any) in the upgrade process.   Since it is production, I
would suggest do not go beyond 5.6.x.  It has been vetted in the field
whereas 5.7 (not released yet) may still have some quirks post
release.
