Is there a coup function in the game? Since I cannot create a kingdom during EA, can I become a king myself through a coup?

Is there a coup function?

Good question!
В Steam написано, что нет функции для управления Королевством, поэтому нет смысла делать функцию переворота в EA.
I don't know about a coup (though it would be a cool feature) but even without kingdom creation, you can be crafty and earn a spot in the line of succession through clever marriages. Might need to let the king die of old age, but if you marry a king's only daughter then succession might fall to you if the faction doesn't want a queen.
Good idea, marry the king and have children and then play as your own children to get the throne.
Palace coups would be a fun addition, especially considering how commonplace they were in the Byzantine empire.
You would have to build a strong coalition of course and keep it secret while making preparations like bribing palace guards. Once all is done, a "storm the palace" quest would begin and you would try to seize the capital and capture the monarch. If you fail, a civil war will begin. If you succeed, the other lords will begrudgingly accept the fait accompli, but you will be branded as a usurper, hurting your legitimacy and relations. Not to mention your co-conspirators will be expecting lavish rewards for their loyalty.

Bloody Bill
Regular
By lavish rewards do you mean that line of pikes down main street?
From what we know so far it looks like the only line to the throne in EA at the moment will be through some sort of influence/power based vote similar to other empire decisions. Possibly you need to hold a certain amount of land, power, money and relations with other lords then you will be able to raise a decision that your clan should be the ruling family. It will be voted on and presumably if successful your clan takes leadership of the faction and the ruling clan steps down.
It's worth noting that the countries in bannerlord seem to be some form of Oligarchic clan based democracy rather than a strict feudal system. The ruling member of each clan is not necessarily the oldest and inheritance is passed down by designation.

Yes sir, this is the one.
Doesnt work like that though
If the faction leader dies his son/daughter doesnt simply inherit the throne. All the clans vote for the new leader.
Considering Northern Empire is a unification of a "Senate" who probably all vie for power, and the Western Empire are more military minded generals i'm guessing every clan wants to lead ? Maybe the only exception is the Southern Empire with the Empress and her daugther. But i dont know if there will be exceptions.
Maybe if your clans influence is high enough you can still manipulate the outcome
Is there a link for the no kingdom creation update?
It's in both the EA announcement and the Steam page description if I recall correctly.
The Kingdom Management devblog from almost two years ago mentioned being able to support another clan to become leader of a faction. Assuming that hasn't changed, we should have an avenue to take control of an existing faction through political means even if a violent coup isnt an option yet.
Here's the blog

Quoted from the steam page's description of the game's early access period.
Throughout the course of the early access period we intend to introduce the missing supporting features, such as, rebellions, kingdom creation and weapon crafting, while expanding and enhancing many of the existing features that are outlined below.
