    The touch part of a DS touchscreen is a separate piece from the actual screen. Its a thin transparent film and is actually replaceable but isnt for the feint of heart.

    Its available here http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.3245 but I would advise getting a professional modder or someone with a good amount of electronics experience to do the replacement for you.

    Any site that carries modding supplies generally has them. The site I sent the link to earlier has some for under $1. I've never seen them for sale in an actual physical store though.
