1. A clean install
A clean install is the simplest way to do it, and then to add whatever preferences you like to have.
2. Change your system

Edit: But remember that Lubuntu has no long time support. Its end of life is October 2013, so think twice before doing this. Maybe it is better to run Ubuntu Server with the addition of XFCE
Code:
sudo apt-get install xfce4
and enjoy the LTS support of packages belonging to Xubuntu until April 2015.
You can also install
Code:
sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop
and make Pure Xubuntu
