I'm looking for the same thing, with no luck so far -- assuming you want to use common screw-in fluorescent bulbs and not the expensive, less common plug-in kind. I'm about to give up and cut the ceiling to use the new-construction style.

What is insulation contact recessed lighting?

Can you convert an existing flush mount ceiling light into a recessed light?
Sure. Get a recessed light that is designed to be installed in "old Work". You must hav eenough room in ceiling to contain the recessed light. There may be some issues in some locations where the recessed fixture may overheat if for instance there is insulation around the fixture. Light should have an over temp cutoff. There should be a template with recessed light and a built in box to wire in the power from the old light. If you carefully cut out the sheetrock in ceiling according to the template dimensions, you will be able to use the piece you remove to repair the hole should there be no room for the recessed light. If there is attic access where the new light will be installed, you may be able to use a "new Work" light fixture since you can mount it from above. Go to someplace like Home Depot or Lowes and see what they have available.

Check for insulation of other material directly above and around the affected light to make sure it has the proper clearance.
