Getting the front to work isn't an issue, and there are adapters out there (plenty on eBay) is it possible to get the 142mm hub to fit your frame, yes, will it be cost effective, no (as you need to buy a whole new frame, and probably other parts)
My Novatec D411SB and D412SB hubs have interchangeable caps for 135 QR and 142 TA in the rear, and QR, TA12, and TA15 front. I haven’t converted them myself, but I suspect redishing the rear might be necessary given the spacing change, but it is possible depending on who made the OP’s hubs.
