Just boot your PC with the Ubuntu 14.04 DVD and follow the installer instructions. The section you are asking of is the disk preparation step - there is an option "Install Ubuntu alongside Windows" - choose it, and installer will automatically shrink Windows partition to make room for Ubuntu.
See Install Ubuntu 14.04 LTS for details; point 4 refers to allocate drive space for Ubuntu, but it is good idea to read the whole document before doing Ubuntu installation.
