Theoretically 2.4 also has such support but you really really shouldn't
use it (unless you want to destroy your ntfs partition.
2.6 stabler, thus you won't destroy your partition, but iirc it can
only overwrite files, not create new ones (not sure about changing
their size, but I don't think so).

IIRC the name of the program is explore2fs. Gives graphical access from
windows to your ext2 partition.
