Not officially, but once rooted, cuatom roms can be flashed easily.

You will get all the features because any ROM based on ICS is ICS itself with some extra mods.

u will have to flash a custom recovery called ClockWorkMode (CWM) recovery and then install the ROM using the recovery.

check forums in xda-developers.com for futher assistance on this. Learn it first and then experiment, dont do both at a time.

PS:: I hope i am not doing anything wrong in mentioning another site here, if it is, please let me know so that i can delete the content

As far as I know,the technicians at samsung's authorized service centers will upgrade the existing version of android on your phone to ICS for a nominal fee-you may want to check with them first before attempting to upgrade it yourself.

Dude
Not every awesome thing got a price tag!
on topic - It's free! Go to the thread of the ROM follow instruction and enjoy!
Don't try if you ain't sure what are you doing
Do a bit Reading on XDA ;)

Also it voids warranty(if you still have it although you can reflash to stock)
