  You'd want to write an application that uses AuthServices to obtain 
permission to use NSFileManager to back up the user's original 
DefaultDesktop.jpg (since you're a nice, well-behaved application and 
all), then to copy some other image over the original.

  Each of these things is well-documented in Apple's documentation 
and well-covered in this list's archives and there's a lot to know, so 
your first step is to read. A lot. ;-)
