Ubuntu 13.04 has reached its end of live date half a year ago and there is no support any more, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases As a consequence the software repositories have been removed from the standard mirror servers, which is why you are getting 404 (not found) messages.
If you want to move over to a supported Ubuntu system, you have to upgrade to Ubuntu 14.04

There are two possibilities to reach the 14.04 release:
1. upgrade from raring to saucy (also already in end of live status), and then to trusty
or
2. create backups of all your important files to another medium and start with a new installation of Ubuntu trusty.

The first part of the troubleshooting procedure clearly mentions the following:

"
The only supported releases of Ubuntu are the ones that are NOT End of Life (EOL) in the following table:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases
"

So it should not be a surprise that raring is not supported.

Thanks Manfred Hampl, that solved my question.
