Jpeg files are compressed using a lossy algorithm. The resulting file size and the compression time depend on the parameters of the algorithm. Most common in digital cameras is to trade size for time (weaker compression and a quick response of the camera).

You can re-size the images using any program that supports jpeg (even MS Paint) by opening them and saving them again to your hard drive. Do not overwrite the original before making sure that the results are ok. Some programs like photoshop, irfanview, gimp support also detailed parametrization of the jpeg algorithms.

A better solution is to use an image converter (I suppose here you ask how to reduce the size of taken photographs). Many image converters support batch resizing of all images in one step, fine control of all jpeg parameters, optional re-size of the image in order to reduce the file size even more. I can recommend AZImage as a representative tool of this category (supports everything mentioned, it is easy to use and has a trial period). See the related links.
