Yes there are a few simple improvements you could make that won't break the bank...

Fit some fork spacers, either Kev's or make some yourself out of steel or thick wall polurethane tube and experiment with different lengths. (Search for Fork Spacers, there is loads of information on the forum). Also change to/experiment with a heavier weight oil SAE10 or 15.

Not so much you can do with the back, but sounds like you're complaining of not enough rebound damping? Not adjustable unfortunately, but winding off some preload and giving yourself more rider sag will help the shock cope better.
However, spending �350 on a new adjustable shock will make the world of difference. They are well worth the outlay.
