Yes you can,
You can try good old partition-magic (commercial product), or GNU parted
apt-get install parted (on sid at least)
or see
http://www.gnu.org/software/parted/parted.html
You can also download a bootable disk image from their site.
Make sure to backup the partitions before trying to resize them.
