With a current version of the euenc-package (and the current opentype
version of the lmodern-fonts) the mapping should be working by default. 

You can get both on CTAN. 

tex-archive/macros/xetex/latex/euenc/
tex-archive/fonts/lm/fonts/opentype/

You can also reload the fonts in your document and change the features:

\setmainfont[SmallCapsFont={* Caps},
             Mapping=tex-text]{Latin Modern Roman}
\setsansfont[Mapping=tex-text]{Latin Modern Sans}
\setmonofont[SmallCapsFont={* Caps}]{Latin Modern Mono}
