I don't think there's anything that you can on the device itself, but by connecting the device to a host PC via USB, you could probably use something like gparted in Linux, or a gparted live CD. Note that I've not tried this, so wait until someone has tried and written a tutorial first!

Yes, I'm sure emulators will use MyDocs by default for ROM storage, and allow you to use SD cards, as that would be the only sensible thing to do. MyDocs is a FAT32 partition.
