I find a Search/Replace post-processing plugin in Cura 2.6. Replacing T0 with T1 appears to work.
Hey DaHai8 !
thanks a lot!
after some tweaking, I got it! Now I can print with only the 2nd Extr....!!
BUT: I can only use Cura 2.4 , cause the representation of the graphic for "layers view" does not work (Open GL etc...) The "compatibility mode" is'nt just fine )-:
And by the way: Do you know, how I can configure the "machine settings" for the dimensions of the printhead in Cura 2.4 ?

@ eldrick:
thanks for the hint !! ... but I do not know, how I use this :(
what shall I type in there ???
I have no idea - I assumed it was for complex GREP search/replace operations, but I didn't use it.

In my experience, a "Regular Expression" (REGEX) is a perl search and replace expression. You don't need to put anything in there. I suspect that Cura is allow you to use REGEX's to build complex substitutions. Yours is pretty simple, so just leave the box unchecked.
Print Head Size settings were covered in a older thread. You can find it there:

As for Regular Expressions, if you're not a programmer they can be very confusing...ok, even if you are a programmer, they are very confusing...
Regular Expressions allow you to write very complex Search and Replace commands that can account for a variety of possible matches, replacements, and search functions.
The Python RegEx page can be found here: https://docs.python.org/2/library/re.html
Good luck!

ok... I found out, that there is no way, to set 'Print Head Size settings' in Cura 2.4 ...
I just looked at the 'machine defs' in the .json - file and modified it .. but only the bed-dimensions ... change 'printhead settings' is to crazy for me here....
the 'The Python RegEx page' tells me nothing... it's too much for my brain...

I converted a Post-Processing Plugin by Stefan Heule from Cura 15 to Cura 2.x a little while back that does what you did by hand: Replace T0 with T1
You can find it here: http://bitman.org/dahai/SelectExtruder.zip
May not be the best way to do this, as there may be a way to set Cura up naturally to use the second extruder, but it does appear to work.
