How to extend a table space

Hi,

I need to extend my default table space. I tried to extend it through the sqlplus and I was getting an error stating that I don't have the DBA privilages. I can get to the super user level, but there I couldn't invoke the sqlplus.  

This is what I tried trping at the superuser prompt.

database_name# sqlplus

So could anyone tell me, how to go about with this problem. I have no clue on this of what/where/how to do this.

Thanx,
