Can't really answer for how to change your ticket or if you will be allowed on board with a ticket for a different train, but from Augsburg to Paris, you have the following alternatives you can still book (and thus possibly exchange your ticket for?):
Augsburg 03:57 (in the morning, or night rather) - Stuttgart 05:36 // 05:54 - Paris 10:05
Augsburg 07:05 - Mannheim 09:29 // 09:36 - Basel 11:47 // 12:34 - Paris 15:38
All the other connections suggested by the Oui.sncf site are either full or cancelled. Oui.sncf is not the best connection finder in the world, though (it can't build an itinerary with more than 2 transfers, for instance).
Alternatives are to travel by bus or by plane, though the latter have been disrupted yesterday and tomorrow, not sure what the outlook is for tomorrow.
