You can get a new fork and put disc brakes on that.

There are conversion kits which can mount on the rear v-brake mount, stretch down to the back of the bike and let you attach a disc brake. However, they are expensive, you would be better off just buying a new frame.

You can get a decent frame for fairly cheap, around 150 quid or so. Or cheaper if you look around for second hand. If you are 5'8" or so, I might be offloading mine soon.

You'll be grand with V's on the rear but it'd be well worth the upgrade on the front.
