Can I fix it easily?
Fix what?
Actually, this was the initial disk of the computer which came
with a fat32 partition
Can I backup the partition, and modify the partition table for
this partition only without any trouble?
I don't understand what you're trying to do, but the direct answer to
those questions is yes.
I guess that it is a boot partition recognized by grub
You got the computer without Windows installed? The default in that
case is often freedos, which appears to be what grub detected it as.
In addition, sdb2 is seen as a linux partition by fdisk,
fdisk just tells you what the partition is marked as in the partition table.
but as a ntfs partition by gparted (and testdisk). I guess that it correct.
gparted and testdisk actually probe the filesystem because they also
deal with the contents of the partitions.

ntfsck was unable to run properly.
ntfs-3g.probe /dev/sdb2

But, I can mount it.
If you can mount it as ntfs and see files, then I guess it's ntfs.
