Look for gnu parted. There are a couple of live cds out there with it, like "Parted Magic" and others.

Parted can resize fat and ntfs file systems among others.

And Gparted provides a very partition-magic like X11 interface to parted(?), I don't see it part of the standard CentOS 5.1 distribution, I've only used it under Ubuntu, and it can resize FAT32/NTFS etc no problem(not sure about FAT16).

$ apt-cache show gparted Package: gparted [..] Description: GNOME partition editor GParted uses libparted to detect and manipulate devices and partition tables while several (optional) filesystem tools provide support for filesystems not included in libparted.
