if they just want front disc, buying this fork http://www.on-one.co.uk/i/q/FOOOP12/on-one-pompetamine-fork and a disc front wheel is easy enough.
If they want disc braks on the back the frame will need to be modified -
You need disc brake mounts on the frame, which could be added by a framebuilder/repairer in theory. In practice, however, it's not worth it, as the torsional forces exerted by a rear disc need to be factored in when building a frame, so if the frame wasn't designed for discs you run the risk of breaking the frame.
As @laner says, adding them to the front requires changing the fork (plus a new wheel and front disc brake).
It'd be easier, and cheaper, to sell the Plug and buy a new bike with discs.
