First, does your crank have bolted on chainrings? Second, do you have any particular reason for wanting to stick with the same crankarms?
I ask those questions because chainrings are generally not very cheap. To replace all three chainrings, or even just the two largest rings, on a medium to low end crank will probably cost you as much as buying a whole new crank. If the bike is low end, you can get VERY cheap 48/38/28 cranksets which are great for commuting (in my opinion of course).
This is nothing special but it'll get the job done:

This is about as cheap as it gets:

Here's something nicer with slightly smaller rings:

Do note that you may need a new bottom bracket depending on which crankset you go with. The above are all square taper so if you have a different interface and don't want to swap, you'll need to find something else. Your current front derailler should have no trouble with a 48 tooth big ring. If you wanted to go with a 50 or 52, then you might want to consider a road front derailler though that brings it's own set a of issues, and for that reason I'd recommend sticking with a 48. A 48/11 combo is bigger than a 52/12 (common road bike top gear) anyway.
