Aug 19, 2012 at 22:48 comment added Jim Humphreys The question can be asked in the framework of linear algebra (a tag I've added) but is better structured in the framework of Lie algebras of linear algebraic groups in general. In particular, Chevalley's version of "Jordan decomposition" expresses the semisimple and nilpotent (commuting) parts of a given matrix as polynomials in the matrix. But the literature in this area is large, starting with older work by Kolchin, Chevalley, Borel, and many others. And there are more prerequisites for reading most of it. Computations over finite fields are easier but not so helpful.
