You will have to turn off the virtual machine and then edit the drive in the settings. Add the 10 GB and then start the vm again.
Next offcourse with fdisk/gparted add the extra 10 GB (format with ext3/4 whatever choice you want). I assume you mean that you want your current partition(s) to be resized. I have read this is possible but not on a running system. I am sure Vivek will have a in depth instruction on that
