Some options to look at:

I assume there are no runaway processes causing this? (Activity  
Monitor would show that.) I guess I would then check all the vents to  
make sure they are not blocked by anything or clogged with dust.  
Perhaps there is a thermal conductivity problem between the processor  
and its heat sink. That might requires some disassembly to inspect  
and perhaps some new thermal grease. But I would look at other less  
traumatic options from others before going that step.

If you have a Genius Bar nearby, that might also be a good source of  
advice.
