Create a ndf file and put in separate FG. You can right click index and put in separate FG in separate Disk. You will move table as well if transfer clustered index to that FG.

You can't separate clustered index from data. By the way, separating index from data doesn't always boost performance. You need test it to see.

On table-index-properties:
But as being said: you need Clustered index to move table to other FG.
