At that screen there must be Something Else item besides Erase disk and install Ubuntu. Here you select manually partitioning. You can add/create (from free unallocated space) or delete partitions but not resize them from the Ubuntu installation. If you didn't resize (don't have free unallocated space enough to create new partition) then run Gparted from Ubuntu - you can select Try Ubuntu not Install Ubuntu and run Gparted from ther. Or you can resize your Windows partition (if needed) from Windows before running Ubuntu installation. If in windows, there is free utility called Partition Wizard. http://www.partitionwizard.com/free-partition-manager.html
