You can't, gparted precludes it. Use the iso.

You can't modify a partition which is mounted and if you are using GParted from and installed system, that will limit what you can do. Anything you want to know about GParted is at the site below which is the Manual.

You should boot with a live linux system. You can for instance download
SystemRescueCD, install it on a USB flash drive, boot from it, launch gparted
and select your hard drive (most likely, /dev/sda)

I use this when in a tight spot myself.

The iso takes up hardly any space on my 1TB external storage drive and boots on the lowest spec gear I have ever seen or used.
