Some demos were recorded on map01 of a wad, then the map was changed to map13. Is it possible to edit the demos so that they play on map13?

Yeah, edit the lump's fourth byte with a hex editor, from 01 to 0D (hexadecimal values). Some demo apps might also allow you to change the level through a command.

Sorry, I'm kinda not smart. I opened the lmp with a hex editor but am not sure where the fourth byte is.

/me looks at the filename

If you're editing a Boom demo, you'll need to edit the byte circled here:

If you're editing a vanilla Doom 2 demo, the byte you'll want to edit is the one highlighted in red here:
