Not sure if you figured it out yet but with using php and simplexml you can 
easily extract the user profile image by this...

$feed->icon

Below is the entire code I'm using for simplexml... not sure how you would 
change the persons profile image but this is where it is located.. I'd 
assume with a put command or something.. haven't done it myself.

*$feedURL = 
"http://picasaweb.google.com/data/feed/api/user/$userid/?kind=photo&access=visible";;
   $sxml = simplexml_load_file($feedURL);

    $counts = $sxml->children('http://a9.com/-/spec/opensearchrss/1.0/');
    $total = $counts->totalResults; 
 
    foreach ($sxml->entry as $entry) {
      $title = $entry->title;
      $summary = $entry->summary;
      
      $gphoto = $entry->children('http://schemas.google.com/photos/2007');
      $size = $gphoto->size;
      $height = $gphoto->height;
      $width = $gphoto->width;
      $media = $entry->children('http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/');
      $thumbnail = $media->group->thumbnail[1];
    
     
   /* This is where the profile image is */    echo "<img src=\"" .  
$sxml->icon . "\"/>\n";
  ** /* This will just show the url */   **   echo '<pre>' . 
print_r($sxml->icon) . '</pre>';
    }*



Hope this helps
