Easiest way is open the picture with paint on your computer, then go to "stretch/skew", and depending on your picture size you reduce the image by the percentage needed. With my camera best is right around 25% of the original size.

Once you start taking better pictures and such you'll want better editing software but paint with windows is sufficient for re-sizing.

It also will depend on the operating system that you have. If you have your photos stored in the Windows 7 photo files you can right click the picture, open edit, open resize and make your adjustment. There my even be more ways besides Paint and what I described. It's rather characteristic of Windows to have multiple ways of doing the same thing.
