The easiest way is to get pre-made trusses.

Raise the roof. Assuming the floor structure is adequate (it may not be), the rafters and ridge can be detached and raised. You'd secure the rafters, cut them loose, and lift the whole thing with a crane. Next you'd install kneewalls on top of the existing walls, then lower the roof back into place. The height of the kneewalls would determine the new ceiling height.
