Brazed on FD helpppp!
So I acquired an older FD6500 shimano front derailleur. However it is brazed-on instead of the usual clamp style. 
Any way to make it mount on my bike without drilling hole into the frame?

Yes, the simplest way around your problem is to get a clamp on adapter that the derailleur will then mount to.

There is quite a few companies and manufacturers that makes this. Just get the one that you like and problem solved.

Yes, get an adaptor.
BTW, braze-on derailleurs are not mounted by drilling a hole in the frame, but are bolted to a purpose-built mount attached to the seat-tube when the frame is built, or added after by a framebuilder. I doubt you could get a derailleur to come close to working by mounting it to a hole drilled in the frame.
