Are there any tools available for that operation ?

Have you try this?
If you right-click the workspace switcher and choose preferences, you can adjust rows and columns from there.

I tried this, but when I increase/decrease the number of workspaces don't change. Is there someway to access this tool via the terminal so that I can grant sudo access when I open it?

Install gnome-tweak-tool (live.gnome.org/GnomeTweakTool). Go to Shell tab on the left. There is "Dynamic workspaces" and workspace number options. Thats the one I use to make such changes on my desktop.

We're looking for long answers that provide some explanation and context. Don't just give a one-line answer; explain why your answer is right, ideally with citations. Answers that don't include explanations may be removed.
This doesn't make very much sense. CentOS is a Linux distribution.

I found gnome-help (see below), which eventually led to a workspaces discussion that revealed these user-privilege (not sudo/root) command line instructions for setting rows and columns:
to set number of columns (in my case, 3), change final parameter:
gsettings set org.compiz.core:/org/compiz/profiles/unity/plugins/core/ hsize 3
to set number of rows (also 3, here), change final parameter:
gsettings set org.compiz.core:/org/compiz/profiles/unity/plugins/core/ vsize 3
The difference for rows vs columns is the next-to-last parameter, either hsize (for columns) or vsize (for rows).

Heading: "What is a workspace, and how will it help me?"
SubHeading: "Change the number of workspaces"

I am using "Workspace Grid" extension for this.
It arranges workspaces in a configurable grid. You can modify the grid as you like.
