There is no way to do it via JSON RPC or with web3 API.
I've created a repository on Github with an example showing how to read all Patricia trie entries in a block and in any contract storage using nodejs https://github.com/medvedev1088/ethereum-merkle-patricia-trie-example
var Trie = require('merkle-patricia-tree');
var rlp = require('rlp');
var levelup = require('levelup');
var leveldown = require('leveldown');
var db = levelup(leveldown('/your_home_dir/Library/Ethereum/rinkeby/geth/chaindata'));
var keccak256 = require('js-sha3').keccak256;
// the block state root, rinkeby, block number 1775804
// the block state root can be obtained by invoking web3.eth.getBlock(<blockNumber>) in `stateRoot` field
var root = '0xe4a6ff741ec2e0d0cd274a745756028df27312161bdb4557b6da434349f716a9';
var trie = new Trie(db, root);
trie.checkRoot(root, function (err, val) {
console.log('Root exists:', val);
});
var address = '398A7A69f3c59181A1ffe34bed11DCb5DF863A8a';
var addressHash = keccak256(new Buffer(address, 'hex'));
trie.get('0x' + addressHash, function (err, val) {
var decodedVal = rlp.decode(val);
console.log(decodedVal);
if (!decodedVal || decodedVal.length < 4) {
console.log('The value for the address must be an array of 4 elements');
return;
}
// 3rd element in the array is storage root, 1st - nonce, 2nd - balance, 4th - codeHash
var storageRoot = decodedVal[2];
console.log('storageRoot', storageRoot);
trie.root = storageRoot;
trie.checkRoot(storageRoot, function (err, val) {
console.log('Storage root exists:', val);
});
// Read storage slot with index 0
var slotZeroHash = keccak256(new Buffer('0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000', 'hex'));
trie.get('0x' + slotZeroHash, function (err, val) {
var decodedVal = rlp.decode(val);
console.log('Value at slot 0: ', decodedVal);
});
// Read all entries from contract storage
var stream = trie.createReadStream();
stream.on('data', function (data) {
console.log('key:' + data.key.toString('hex'));
// values are rlp encoded
var decodedVal = rlp.decode(data.value);
console.log(decodedVal);
});
stream.on('end', function (val) {
console.log('done reading!');
});
});
Example output:
Root exists: true

Interestingly, this data is almost useless because you don't know the slot indexes (you can only see their hashes) and don't know data types of values. At least you know how much storage is occupied by a contract.
