With dynamic disks you can expand a partition, but you cannot shrink a partition.
There are a few other options though. You could consider using mount points, but you'd have to create a new partition and instead of mounting it as a drive letter, you'd mount it as an empty folder into an existing NTFS partition (e.g. copying the documents and settings folder to a partition and then mounting that partition as that folder).
Alternatively, back up the data on your large partition, delete it, expand the C-drive by however much you want to give it, and then recreate the larger partition and restore the data.
