If you use "save as" and set the extension to jpg, it will ask you for the quality level of the saved jpeg file. You can click the preview check-box to see what you are doing. Just near this box you can see the size of the generated file. Change the quality with the ruler until the size is near what you want. (the size update is not really real time but this is not a problem).

Can you open the file in GIMP?
If so, just right click on the image, choose FILE, Save as, filename.jpg (which may be the same name, or another name, but has to end in .jpg).
After that you will be presented a dialog box where you can choose the quality setting . Reduce it, and the final size of the image will change.
