I don't believe you can , You would need to reinstall windows , delete the g partition and recreate with a c partition , then make sure you are installing windows on the c partition

Admin Tools/Computer Management/On left, click Disk Management/in right window, right click on the drive and select change drive letter etc
As hinted above, sometimes it can cause aggro so be prepared to change things back again.

Administrative Tools should be in the start menu, if not, find it in the All Programs list.
