Is it possible to mod the game so that all instances of water are replaced with magma and vice/versa? I'm pretty sure it isn't, but if it were it would be awesome/"Fun"; Lakes, rivers and oceans of magma with springs and underground lakes of water. It would be especially "Fun" if the rain turned into falling fireballs of doom.

No, this isn't currently possible, as awesome as it would be.

I think I made a suggestion calling for the ability to modify liquids, go search the suggestions forum for it if you like.

I think there was a tool which could switch magma and water on the map.
It could have been for an earlier version but i think i remember having magma rivers.

It works, you need DF Tweak program and get  "For Each Tile" module for it. It has "swap magma and water" ability which is easily coded.

Also For Each Tile can make a lot of other awesome things, like make trees grow underground, reveal specific parts of the map and create aquifiers, chasms or magma sources anywhere.

But the most important thing I use is ability to make tiles to be considered underground/aboveground. This way you can:

1) Make your underground entrance hall "aboveground" to avoid "entrance dancing" with "dwarves stay indoors" which usually leads to multiple innocent deaths during sieges.
2) Cover walled-off aboveground parts of your fortress as "underground" to allow dwarves working there during "dwarves stay indoors".

It would be especially "Fun" if the rain turned into falling fireballs of doom.

This is the only impossible part of your post.

Just remember to be careful when you replace water with magma.
I totally forgot that i used normal mechanisms in my plumbing.
It went like this:
"Awesome i have a magma river."
"Haha look at them running"
"oh god they are all dieing"
"Awww everyone is dead"
Yeah that was the last time I would pull a lever thinking "whats the worst that could happen?".

Note to self:

1. Install Dark Dwarves mod
2. Embark at oceanside
3. Water -> Magma
4. ? ? ?
5. Profit!
