I know that you can upgrade from 2008 to 2012 I don't know of a way to downgrade a package. I would create a new SSIS package in Visual Studio and copy the functionality into a 2008 package. If they aren't too complex it doesn't take much time. Most of the steps can be copy / pasted into the new solution but there may be some things that you won't be able to do that way.
