This is my cooler:
Cooler master Hyper L3
And I have 4GB of RAM Kingston KVR667D2N5/1G at 667mhz, when i overclocked my cpu to 2.9ghz, the motherboard also overlocked the RAM to 800MHZ to make it stable.
My question is: Is my cooler enough to keep my core 2 duo stable at 3.2ghz? or i'll need a liquid cooling system? and...
Anyone knows an overclocking utility that can work with my setup?

I don't think you will need to replace the RAM. If you set the FSB Memory Clock Mode to "Unlinked" then set your Memory clock to 333mhz and your CPU to 333mhz, you will be running your RAM at stock speed (DDR667) and your CPU will be OCed to 3ghz (this is a 1:1 ratio as you are at 333mhz on both CPU and RAM). Setting the Memory Clock Mode to unlinked allows you to raise the CPU clock without raising the MEM clock.
Since your RAM was able do close to 800mhz you should be able to push it a little higher than stock and remain stable. Keep in mind that's usually best to try and run at a 1:1 ratio. So to OC to 3.1ghz you would want your RAM and CPU clock both running at 345mhz.
