Does anybody know if there are any mods to change Mr Rx from FWD to AWD?

Yes, of course. New differential, transfer case, driveshafts, rear differential, drive axles, different ECU, BCU, TCU, according buttons inside the vehicle and system re-flash to make it all work together.

It would probably be less expensive/painful to just buy an AWD and sell the FWD.

Why would you do that? FWD probably has 2 mpg better gas mileage than AWD, besides that VSC is all you need for a daily driver.
