Can the GPU of laptops be changed (replaced)? I've heard it can't, but I don't understand why that would be the case, when laptops are basically same as desktop computers, except they also have a battery. My laptop GPU has died, so I want to replace it if it's possible and if a new GPU is not very expensive. I want a standard cheap one, so I can work normally on the laptop, I don't need one for gaming. What are the prizes?

Depends on whether the laptop has an MXM or a soldered GPU.

Short answer: no
Longer answer: It can be done but it's not worth fucking around with sourcing a compatible GPU and unless you have expert level soldering skills you WILL kill the mobo.
Just get a laptop with thunderbolt 3 and a eGPU case

Do they even make these anymore?

I think MXM and MXM2 are about dead right now
I saw a 7970M on MXM2 some time ago but nothing newer than that.
