Assuming you used the pi install/upgrade script to install it, and assuming it is not a Pi Zero then first uninstall nodejs  
`sudo apt-get remove nodejs`  
Then edit the file `/etc/apt/sources.list.d/nodesource.list`. You should find it contains something like

```auto
deb https://deb.nodesource.com/node_10.x jessie main
deb-src https://deb.nodesource.com/node_10.x jessie main

```

Change the 10 to 8 on each line. Then run

```bash
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nodejs

```
