So I've taken a campaign as France, I went to war against England and Aragon. I captured Calais, Gascogne and Santiogne and negoiated a peace with Aragon for 3 provinces so now I'm just fighting against england and i have 39 % victory score. But when i ask them to cede any provinces they won't. My war exhaustion rates are rising and England won't budge. What do i do ?

Keep the war going, eventually they're war exhaustion will reach it's peak and they'll be much more likely to cede a province or two. Honestly though a warscore of 39% isn''t all that much and eve if England's WE reaches critical they may not cede much if anything. Take a few more provinces if you can, if you've already taken everything on the mainland and have destroyed their armies there then just sit back and take a province or two every war dec by breaking down their WE.

If your war exhaustion is rising faster and you're losing troops the AI will only take a subpar settlement.

Does England have the ability to blockade yet? As if so, that's what's causing the war exhaustion, and if you can't do anything to the British Navy there isn't much you can do to prevent your own war exhaustion rising. Since i'm assuming you couldn't get past the Navy to launch a mainland assault there isn't really much more you can do to them. Take as many settlements as you can and white peace out.

Focus on going to war with other land powers until you have a Navy that can compete with them. In which case, the one sole advantage they hold on you is gone, and you can then land troops, isolate their troops, and blockade them.
