Well... do you want to format the volume as NTFS, or you also want to preserve the files?

FAT and NTFS have a completely different internal structure. "Converting" (I meam: "in place converting") is practically impossible. You will soon end-up in creating another volume, and move the files in it. But at that point, you just have to invoke the OS functionalities.

It's not calling a cat "dog" that make it barks.

I don't have much knowledge about it.

but I think you would have to start from:
1. DDK or SDK
2. FAT32 File System
3. NTFS file system
