List<Quote> quotes = [SELECT Id, Lead_source__c, Lead_source2__c FROM Quote LIMIT 50000];
for(Quote quote : quotes){
	quote.Lead_source2__c = quote.Lead_source__c;
​}
update quotes;

Hi Rizwan,
Assuming the field api name for formula field is Lead_source__c and api name for new picklist field is Lead_source2__c, you can execute below code in developer console.
List<Quote> quotes = [SELECT Id, Lead_source__c, Lead_source2__c FROM Quote  WHERE LIMIT 50000];
for(Quote quote : quotes){
	quote.Lead_source2__c = quote.Lead_source__c;
​}
update quotes;

Note that this will process only 50000 records and if there are more than 50K records then use Lead_source2__c != NULL in where clause of the above query and run multiple times till all quotes are updated.
