No. You do not need to be a certain level to do this.
Roll over the gear in the upper right corner and click Account Info. From there, you will be able to tamper with your profile picture, username, background, and all that other stuff.
See Barkley's answer if you only need to do it for Yahoo Answers.

Ok, not being there,, there is little help I can give... If I was you, I'd buy an external hard-drive and copy your C;/ drive to it, then reset your computer to it's factory settings - DO NOT format hard-drive. Finally upload all your files back again! Good Luck

Click on your ID near the top of the left column.
Click "Edit Preferences" in the header.
You can change your avatar and nickname, set the notification email address, add/change the "about you" text, hide and unhide q&a in your profile, change notification emails, activate IM and email, and a few other preferences.
