Actually, if you're formatting, surely "mkfs -t ext2" would be easier :-), but Felix did ask about _converting_ though.
The article I pointed to says that ext4 has extents, so ext4 without journal has advantages over ext2: «You could also use ext2 but it does not support extents, and then it requires more accesses to read/write large files to the disk..»
I googled "convert ext3 to ext2" and stumbled over this
tune2fs -O ^has_journal <ext3-device>.
