I thought I set my camera to CR2 and all my shots wound up in jpg. Is there any way I can convert them to CR2 through photoshop, LR, or any other programs?

Unfortunately no. You have JPEGs now.

It makes no sense, since the JPG doesn't have all the info, but this site claims it can.
I wouldn't bet the farm on it, but you might want to give it a try.

Hmmm.
Yeah, I’d hang onto the farm.

As mentioned, this is not possible. The CR2 / CR3 format is original data directly from the Canon digital sensor. The data has been transformed and converted into a non reversible method when creating the JPEG, including changing the bit depth of the sensor to an 8-bit JPEG. Your JPEGs should have the same number of pixels, but the level of color data about each pixel has been reduced to 8-bit.
Have you investigated the issue in your camera for the CR2 not being created? Did you inspect the camera card? Is it possible the CR2 files were created, but your copy process selected the JPEGs instead to copy to your computer?

If the camera was left for a long time without a battery in it, it may have reverted to default settings which may have included saving as jpeg only. If that happens the camera doesn't warn you.

You can't uncook a steak. You can't strip out all of the adjustments made by the camera when it created the jpeg, nor can you recover any of the data that was tossed in the process.

There again, I like my steaks cooked

I agree that you can't go from JPEG to CR2 you but might want to try this from Topaz Labs: JPEG to RAW AI https://topazlabs.com/jpeg-to-raw-ai/

As others have pointed out, creating the jpegs meant compressing the data - which is definitely NOT lossless. Because of the difficulties involved in reverse engineering raw data from compressed data, the best thing you can do is to convert the jpeg files to a lossless format such as TIFF or DNG. In fact if you don't intend to do any further editing with them you should just leave them as jpegs. The data that was lost in generating the jpeg files can't be recovered.
