I recently upgraded to kernel version 3.8.0-27. Can I remove that version and update grub to make 3.5.0-32 my normal boot? If yes, how can I do this with minimum risk? Can I do this via the Synaptic package manager?

As root, issue the following commands:

dpkg -l | grep linux-image

Find the kernel image you want to remove, which should be linux-image-3.8.0-27-generic (be sure it is).

Then

apt-get remove linux-image-3.8.0-27-generic

I don't think a GRUB update is needed, it should just disappear from the GRUB menu. If you get any errors with GRUB just issue, also as root, update-grub.
