You can use Piknik to do it, as outlined here:

However, that's pretty boring!
Alternatively, the profile photo exists on your hard drive at /home/chronos. This file is called yourname@gmail.com.png. If you have jailbroken your machine, and you downloaded a photo from the web, it will be in /home/chronos/user/Downloads. (You can get into the full shell from crosh by typing shell, and if you need superuser privileges, sudo su.)
You can just copy the file, renaming it as a .png file with your email that you use for logging in. I was able to download a png file of a cartoon character and then, change my photo in this way.
Warning: I am not sure what it does if it finds no yourname@gmail.com.png. .png file, but a yourname@gmail.com.jpg. instead, or what happens if the .png file has dimensions that it doesn't like.
I suggest you back up your original photo, before you try this.
