If you are using Windows and have a sdcard slot (not a USB sdcard reader), you can do this with "Win32 Disk Imager" on windows and fdisk and resize2fs on the A13.
I did this with a 4GB sdcard to change to a 8GB.
If you have a linux machine, someone else can help you there.

Adding to what Lurch said, in fdisk you need to delete the old partition and create a new one that starts at the same block. And don't format it, obviously. If you have a Linux machine, you could clone the card, then use gparted to extend the partition.
