new outlets

[aklockenga]

I have a house that has old 2 wire system with just 2 prong outlets. I'd like to replace outlets with 3 prong outlets so that adapters aren't necessary to plug things in. Is there any way to switch out the outlets without having to rewire the house with new ground included romex by code.

Thanks
Aaron
