This doesn't really help, I'll assume you just want to convert your ext3
filesystem (saved in an image file) to ext4.

You have two possibilities:
- Upgrade the existing filesystem[1].
- Create a new filesystem and copy the files into it[2].

1:

2: Use Alan's instructions to mount the image file with a loop device,
and copy them in your new ext4 filesystem.
