Glucose and fructose are isomers of each other - molecules that have the same atoms with different arrangements and structures.  So an enzyme that can convert one isomer to another, an isomerase, can convert glucose to fructose by definition.  In the second step of glycolysis for example, phosphoglucose isomerase converts glucose-6-phosphate to fructose -6-phosphate.
