Typically, USB ports are attached directly to the computer's motherboard (the circuit board) unless, for example, you have additional USB ports on the front of your computer (which may be connected by a wire, and in which case could be replaced). So no, USB ports are usually soldered directly onto the circuit board and cannot be replaced without professional repair.

A broken USB port may be fixed by replacing either a chipset on the mother board and also making sure that the port is not loose. If this fails, one will need to replace the port.

How many usb port on dell vostro 1014?

There is no minimum or required number for USB ports on a laptop. Depending on the age and design of the laptop, it could be anywhere from zero to ten. I have seen only 2 USB ports on older laptops, most of the new ones atleast have 4 USB ports. Netbooks(10" & 11") have not more than 2 USB ports. If in anycase you need more USB ports, you could buy an USB hub for as less as 10$, which will add 4 more ports to your laptop.
