I don't have an example at hand, but you can instantiate a megawizard generated module or probably instantiate the primitive (cyclonev_jtag) directly. Then you need to generate the JTAG sequence to read it. If you don't have software to do this you can write an SVF to set the scan register to user1/user2.

Using the altsource_probe is probably the easiest way.
