I want to install Ubuntu 14.04.4 in UEFI mode alongside windows 8, which is already in UEFI mode.

  • My partition scheme is GPT.

  • Ubuntu is on /dev/sda5.

  • Legacy bootloader on /dev/sda.

  • Windows on /dev/sda4.

UEFI bootloader in EFI partition

How would I go about doing this?

You can't 'convert' Ubuntu to UEFI. It is already installed in UEFI mode, because the uefi bootloader uses an EFI partition (as well as Windows, too). In (old) BIOS mode there is no need for an EFI partition. Legacy bootloader seems to be kinda backup boot mode, in case efi bootloader got corrupted.
