Can someone please advise if it is OK to replace a Shimano 9 speed cassette with as Shimano 8 speed.
Thanks

Sure. But won't you still have 8-speed shifters? -

The shimano 8s and 9s cassettes will both fit the hub, but for index shifting to work, the shifter must match the number of speeds as the cassette. Also a 9s cassette will require a 9s chain. If you have downtube shifters, the shifters can be used in friction mode (without indexing) and will work with any number of speeds.
