Hi, you would better order it with your airways directly. Or, you can ask your booking agency through whom you booked the ticket to book the vegetarian food for you.

As I know, you can purchase the tickets now. Personally, you would better book your tickets one month earlier for cheaper airfare. For the details, you can contact the airways in person.
