I want to increase the size allocated for Ubuntu, but for this I need to reduce the size for Windows. Gparted does not allow managing Windows partitions. What to do?

Boot into Windows and shrink the Windows partition using Windows tools. Leave the space that is released as unallocated.
Boot into a live Ubuntu DVD or USB drive.
Use gparted to create or edit partitions (and use the unallocated drive space).
If there are still problems for gparted, please reboot instead of shut down Windows. This avoids [semi]hibernating, and the file system will be ready for the linux tools. Later on you can turn of Fast Startup in Windows, which makes it stop semihibernating.
