I have following problem: When I try to deploy my SSAS project (with cube, dimensions and all that jazz) to sql-server, it throws error saying that

You cannot deploy the model because the DB deployment server is not running in multidimensional mode.

I'm new to this, so it might be a dumb question, but how do I change database mode from tabular to multidimensional?

It is possible to stop SSAS, edit the msmdsrv.ini and change DeploymentMode from 2 to 0. Empty the DataDir folder. Then start SSAS.
