Write support to NTFS is not stable and is not enabled by default. You need to recompile the kernel to enable it, but I strongly advice you that is a bad ideia.
You can't by default and it's not recommended unless you use a third party driver (I don't remember their names, but you'll have to search for it).
As Microsoft never released NTFS specifications all you can get from open source efforts are read and overwrite access to NTFS filesystem. That means, you can read, and change the content but not the size of files that already exists (and this is still beta).

I don't think you can go from NTFS to FAT32, and to the best of my knowledge the 2.6 Kernels have better support for NTFS. It still is a bad idea to use it because it could lead to data corruption.
look man transfering from ntfs to fat isn't impossible
it is very easy u can use partion magic 8 u can find it if u use torrent
if u want to change from fat to ntfs open the dos and write
convert drive_letter: /fs:ntfs
for example convert D: /fs:ntfs
this will make drive D ntfs driver

Writing to NTFS is not a good idea. But if you are absolutely sure that you want to do it, then you can use Captive NTFS. You can get it here : -
