You can get the sources from kernel.org. The steps are basicly this
extract source /usr/src/linux
make menuconfig
make dep
make bzImage
make modules
make modules_install
The new kernel will be in /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage
You can copy the new kernel to /boot and setup your bootloader to use it. There are also howtos on kernel.org for compiling/installing your kernel. If you do a search on this site, it has been discussed many times.
