pH = 2.03 = -log(H^+). That will be about 0.01 but you need a more exact answer.
.................HF --> H^+ + F^-
I................0.01.....0.........0
C................-x........x..........x
E..............0.01-x....x..........x
Ka = (H^+)(F^-)/(HF). You know x, evaluate 0.01-x, plug into Ka expression and solve for Ka.
Post your work if you get stuck.
