Hi. Based on your description, your friend has the same MacBook I have but newer. They can definitely run Yosemite. From what I hear, 4 gigs is the max a white MacBook can go up to in terms of ram, though a friend of mine said that you could easily put in 2 4 gig ram sticks. I don't know how nice that would play with the Mac but you can give it a try.
