I have a VM with Ubuntu 14.04.2 Desktop installed on it. I'm not planning on upgrading Ubuntu yet, but I want to know if it is possible, and if so, how. I am using VMWare Workstation 12 Player.

Yes, you can. There’s nothing magical about Ubuntu being installed on a VM as opposed to a real world machine. So just follow the standard upgrade procedure recommended by Ubuntu/Canonical.
Unclear on whether you are using Ubuntu desktop or server versions, but for the server version you would open up a terminal and just type in the following command as explained here:
do-release-upgrade
Might need to run that with sudo:
sudo do-release-upgrade
Follow the prompts, wait for things to complete, reboot and you are all done.
For a desktop Ubuntu upgrade, just follow the instructions here.
