You can replace the underlying tools in Visual Studio 2008 with any compatible compiler, that is for example Clang, the Intel compiler and a newer version of the MS compiler. Since you also need matching headers and libraries, the easiest way is to install the latest Visual Studio Community and edit the Visual Studio 2008 config files to point to the new environment. The config files are:

  • <VS2008PATH>/VC/vcpackages/VCProjectEngine.dll.config
  • <VS2008PATH>/VC/vcpackages/AMD64.VCPlatform.config

I've described the steps in more detail here: Visual Studio 2008 with c++11
