Hi rk,

You can create a trigger (before insert) on Lead object,inside the trigger check the current lead email address with all the contacts email address.
If there is no match, then simply insert the lead record.
If there is a match, then get the remaning lead data and update the contact that have same email address.
And do not save the current lead record in that case.
You can throw error in UI to prevent the record save in this case (Using addError).

Hope this helps.
