Edition upgrade is no different to usual move of databases, in this case follow what Ashish referred and make sure you have complete backups for databases, logins and any other information that is essential fro your application.
You can upgrade (Ashish referred) or you can backup databases, users, jobs and permissions (there is a lot of scripts to help you) install a fresh copy of Sql 2000 standard and restore. In any case don't forget to full update statistics after all was done.
