I was playing around in the demo files and I have managed to unlock 3 more civs so you can play them in the demo.
The reason why I cannot do all of them is because there is only 6 civs included in the demo files. But you do get these 6:
Download the XML file
Because the method is a bit confusing I have provided the relevant XML file so you can just place it in the correct place.
England, Rome and Germany unlocked: Here: On the download site find the "save file to pc" link.
Persia,Greece and Egypt (for when you want to go back to them): Here
Place the file in:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\sid meier's civilization v - demo\Assets\Gameplay\XML\Civilizations
For XP, 32 bit Vista and 7. I believe the only difference is that there is no (x86) on Program files.
Remember to overwrite the existing file.
Method
Step 1: Go to: (In vista and 7 64 bit)
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\sid meier's civilization v - demo\Assets\Gameplay\XML\Civilizations
For XP, 32 bit Vista and 7. I believe the only difference is that there is no (x86) on Program files.
Step 2: Open the CIV5Civilizations XML file with notepad. Then use the replace tool or Ctrl+H and put <Playable>false</Playable> in "Find what" and nothing in the "Replace with" box.
Step 3: Save and close the file and run the demo to have access to all those civs. Make sure you don't then select the Barbarian civ as it gives a blank screen, if you do press ESC to go to the main menu.

You can also change the game speed so things build faster and move more etc but unless there is demand for a how to on that I won't

. Recommend creating a save with each civ on startup.
