is there any way i can use my linux swap partition for windows swap purposes
You can't because both have different filesystem formats.
Unless, of course, you choose to reformat the partition everytime you reboot!
Ummm, you can... there's a howto up on how to do it.
There's a script in that howto that essentially does a reformat on startup. Another script reformats the partition to make it usable in windows, while shutting down Linux. Also, in case of an unclean halt, Windows won't be able to use the partition without reformatting it.
