I have a project in VS2013 online. It was setup with the default Process template (Scrum 2.0). I have a lot of source code with history but have nothing else, no workitems/backlog/tasks/stories/bugs etc. I would like to change the template to the Agile template but cant see a way to do this. Is this possible?

1) If you are using VSO then no.

Your only option would be to create a new Team Project. If it is a TFVC project you will be able to branch your source into the new project on the same instance.

2) If you are using Team Foundation Server then you can

Its very strait forward for your circumstance. I would however sugest that the Agile template is not right for you 😊:

My recommendation is to keep the Scrum template but if you really want User Storys then rename PBI to user story. If your PM's want Original Estimate and Completed Work fields then add them. You are bot going to get far into agility if you are fighting against the tool...

P.s. Feel free to email me to discuss offline 😊
