How can I edit an existing FAT partition without losing theits data?

I have a 1tb hard drive. Long a go I split it it into two partisionspartitions. 

One I left as a Mac OS extended (journaled) with 990GB and one as FAT with 10GB. Now I would like to add about 100GB to the FAT partition. 

I am using the Disk Utility but now it says "this partition can't be modified" (for both partitions). Is there a way to shrink one and expand the other? here is a screenshot of the Disk Utility message http://d.pr/i/zJl8 Thanks
