Yes, you can merge the 3.2gb free space to your Ubuntu partition.
For this you need a gparted-live-disk.Because you cannot resize a mounted partition when the filesystem is mounted.
Boot into gparted live disk
Right Click on the Extended partition and select Move/Resize option, then add the unallocated 3.2 gb space to it.
Now the unallocated 3.2gb space comes under the extended partition.
Then rightclick on your Ubuntu ext4 partition and select Move/Resize option,now 3.2gb free space will be shown and you can add that.
Can you tell how to boot into gpareted live disk? I have install gparted but I can't click to Move/Resize option.

Why not simply use the Ubunutu live media which already has gparted on it? And you should mention the length of time it will take and the risk of data loss when moving the partition to the left.
