Yes you can, its not worth it unless your going to be doing some serious racing or your just doing it for looks. The rear brakes only do about 20% of the braking and drums are pretty much on par with discs in braking, they do get hot quicker though. Your require calipers, discs, pads, brake fluid, hand-brake cable from an eg that comes with discs, hubs and the trailing arms. The swap can be done without the trailing arms but it requires more work, removing usually rusted torx screws holding the hubs to the trailing arms which usually strip.

total cost, nfi.
total gain, not much.
