I want to install CentOS on my laptop. And DVD .iso images requre 4+gb flash drive, but I have flash drive only with 2gb. So it is possible to download only mininstall edition, and then upgrade it to "full" edition of CentOS 6.3?

Yes.
Once you get an installed instance, you should be able to yum install or yum groupinstall the packages or groups you want to use; as they should come directly from the yum mirrors on the internet.
This is more or less how I do standard installs -- I do a minimal install, then a yum -y update, then install the groups and packages I need. Since the updated packages are coming from the internet anyways, there's little point in installing packages from local storage that are going to get immediately updated.
