there is a lot of guides in the internet about this. If you are unexprienced user i advice to hire someone to do it for you

umount /dev/sda3
mount /dev/sda2 /home

/home now locates in /dev/sda2 device. But...

1)copy files to new device before mountin

2) make changes in /etc/fstab to mount device correctly after rebooting and set valid sysparams to /etc/fstab if your OS needs this. U need simple replace "/www" with "/home"
-----
/dev/sda2 /home ext3 defaults,usrquota,grpquota,nosuid 1 2
-----
Be careful, wrong symbol in /etc/fstab - and u'll have problems with rebooting system
