You can't.  Unless there is a utility like Partition Magic for the Mac.
But I'm not aware of one.    Best way to do it is to leave a 1MB
partition on the hard-drive as the first partition.  Then use that as
your boot strap.  Make sure to leave it as Apple_Free.  Otherwise the
installer won't to cooperate with you and use it.
