I've seen that some Google Webfonts now use WOFF 2.0. Can I somehow convert my existing WOFF-fonts to this new (and supposedly better format)? And how?

Answer

Certainly! You can convert the existing woff files to the new format. You will get more than 30% improvement on the compression ratio.

Even though browser support is limited at this moment

It will eventually change. You should use the @font-face fall back and start putting these kind of directives in your css now.

 @font-face {
   font-family: MyFont;
   src:
       url('font.woff2') format('woff2'),
       url('font.woff') format('woff');
  }

You can use the following tools to convert from ttf/woff to woff2.0
