Not while it's running obviously... you boot into gparted live and do it. And btw, yes you can move partitions while linux is running.

Nobody said you have to run it from that filesystem/partition? > Not your root partition, unless you can manage to unmount it without having a fatal system crash. You can resize your root partition using fdisk/partprobe without unmounting it, then move /boot to be after root. I'm sure there are many other ways to do it as well (pivot_root, etc).
