I would hesitate to do such a thing. It would not be cheap to modify the frame. Also some track bikes have features you might not want on a road bike; such as a higher bottom bracket, toe overlap, etc.
Why not keep the track frame as it is and obtain a different road frame. Or you could fairly easily install a Sturmey Archer hub on the track frame. Track frames often command a higher price than road frames.
Can you identify the frame in question?
