You can get schrader rim converters from sjscycles.co.uk http://www.sjscycles.co.uk/product-Mavic-Mavic-rim-valve-hole- drilling-converter-Schraeder-to-Presta--EACH-3335.htm I don't know if they ship worldwide but you can probably get them from other suppliers.

Personally I've never bothered. Good tubes should be strengthened around the valve (so pressure hasn't been an issue) and if the rim hole is cut badly with sharp edges I've lined it neatly with electrical tape and not had a problem.
