Assuming you don't have an initrd-style system (I don't even know what
that is), then it's just the usual for you, I imagine. Something along
the lines of:

 - tune2fs -j /path/to/dev (for each fs to be changed)
 - change ext2 to ext3 in /etc/fstab
 - reboot

If you're not changing the root partition, then you can easily umount,
tune2fs, fsck, remount. Might as well Google for this, I presume. There
may be an extra step to avoid having a visible .journal file after
reboot, but this might be optional or something.
