Here's one way:
<xsl:template match="customer">
<xsl:attribute name="age">unknown</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:copy-of select="@age"/>
this relies on the fact that if you add two attributes with the same name to
a result element, the last one wins.
A more conventional solution is
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="@age"><xsl:copy-of select="@age"/></xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise><xsl:attribute name="age".....
