The easiest way is by using qtparted to resize (if necessary), wipe the existing partition and turn it into a fat32 partition.

The command for creating a FAT32 filesystem is something like this:

/sbin/mkfs.vfat -F 32 /dev/hdb2

I don't know if you have to set the partition type with fdisk or a similar partition manipulation program first. And of course you need to do the usual create a mount point and do a mount command.
