Another simple task to do which can appear to cause issues is dirt build up in the rivets of the disc.
Easiest way i found to clean them up is get a nut and bolt and gently tighten them up through the rivet hole and then turn the nut, it should move reasonably easy.
If not, use brake cleaner on the rivet as you're turning them to get any built up crap out of them.
Changing discs is not a good habit to get into unless you are certain it's the problem, they can be bloody expensive for starters.
They can be bought separately if needs be, but if you buy new you will need to get pads for that disc.
As AdieR says, when a disc is put on the wheel, the hub surface needs to be spotless, just the slightest bit of old baked on dirt in the middle can magnify the run out, but if this was the case you should've noticed that straight away anyway.
Are you feeling pulsing through the lever, juddering on braking, what exactly brought your attention to this in the first place?
