Damned near impossible. It would be the electronic equivalent of jacking up
the radiator cap and sliding a new car underneath.
You'd be better off just getting a PAL (or multi-mode) VCR and TV. (Note
that the line rate, etc., aren't compatible with U.S. TVs, either, so just
a PAL VCR isn't going to make you any better off than you are now.
