Best Answer

You can by using gparted. At a terminal prompt type sudo gparted and your partitions will be shown, from where alterations can be made. You need to use sudo gparted to become superuser. If gparted is not installed, the terminal will say so and tell you how to install gparted. Warning: back up important files first to an external flash or hard-drive in case things go wrong. And have an upto date operating system on a CD or DVD to reinstall the OS should things go seriously wrong (just in case!).

Further warning: GParted can't usually do anything at all to a partition if it is in use. This is why there are GParted live media.
