Generally, it is only possible to convert a SOHC engine to DOHC is if there is a DOHC version of that engine that uses a DOHC head on the same block as the SOHC version. However, there may be other complications here. For instance, if the SOHC head is a two valve head and the DOHC head is a four valve head, it will probably be necessary to upgrade your pistons so that you have sufficient valve reliefs for four valves. Otherwise, a piston to valve collision could result.
In most cases, a better idea is to do a full engine swap to a DOHC engine. This way, you don't have to worry about such things as the availability of a DOHC head for your block or piston valve reliefs. Also, in most cases, a full engine swap is often cheaper, simpler, and necessary to be emissions compliant (if this is a concern where you live).
