Use rsync -- create the ext3 directory (/new) and: rsync -av /old/ /new
Be sure and use the trailing / after /old to avoid it creating a /old dir under /new.. There's no way I know of to directly convert a filesystem (other than ext2 to ext3) -- so you'll have to do some type of copy .. the above preserves everything and hasn't failed me yet..
