The only program that I know of that views TGA files is photoshop. I just did a quick google and found that irfanview and GIMP open TGA files as well, both are free.

Irfanview - www.irfanview.com/main_download_engl.htm

GIMP - http://www.gimp.org/windows/

both can open and convert them to JPG, and both can also crop/reduce/resize but GIMP would be more suited to this as it is an editor where irfanview is more of a viewer.
