It's no trouble at all using supposedly rim brake rims with disc brakes, nothing will happen because of that. But your hubs has to be able to take a brake rotor and your fork/frame has to be able to take a brake caliper if you want to put disc brakes on your bike.

I have plan to take bike with disc brake can you suggest?
It depends on your budget. If you're looking at buying a cheap bike, don't bother with disc brakes at all, because they're more expensive than conventional V-type brakes and as such will use up a large chunk of what the manufacturer spends on producing the bike - they'll make up for this buy saving money on other parts such as the frame.If you're spending more, the best thing you can do is likely to be buy a few of the cycling magazines and see what they're saying about bikes and brakes (going by your spelling of disc I'm hazarding a guess that you're British, in which case I recommend MBUK and What Mountain Bike? as being two of the best mountain bike magazines widely available). Any of the well-known disc brake manufacturers - Hope, Hayes, Diatech, Magura and others - make very good brakes which are unlikely to be fitted to any poor-quality bikes.
