You can't change the process template, however you can change the work item types. So for bugs, tasks you can swap to the Agile definitions.

You can do this in 2010 with witadmin, in 2008 it's importwit, by first downloading the template to disk (you'll need the TFS power tools for this). Then point the console app at bug.xml, task.xml etc..

Usage: witadmin importwitd /collection:collectionurl [/p:project] /f:filename [/e:encoding] [/v]

 /collection    Specifies the Team Foundation project collection. Use a fully specified URL such as
                http://servername:8080/tfs/Collection0.
 /p             Specifies the team project in which the new work item type is imported.  This is required, except when
                the validation-only option is used.
 /f             Specifies the work item type XML definition file to import.
 /e             Specifies the name of the .NET Framework 2.0 encoding used to import the XML file. For example,
                /e:utf-7 will use Unicode (UTF-7) encoding. Encoding is automatically detected whenever possible. If
                the encoding cannot be detected, UTF-8 is used.
 /v             Validates the XML definitions for the work item type, link type, or global workflow without importing
                them.
