Click here for information. Except as noted in the article, iTunes Store music can't be downloaded losslessly.

Thanks for the information Niel.

However, I am not trying to download in the new losslessly format that apple announced recently . All I want to do is to re-download in AIFF format which iTunes support. I have downloaded few songs in AAC format by mistake which is a compressed format.

I changed the import settings from the preferences to download in AIFF format and then from the iTunes store a downloaded again all the purchased songs. However the songs are downloaded in the same old AAC format.

You can't. The Import setting only applies to content ripped from audio CDs.
