You can allow users to change their own image by running the following:
(I do not think there is a gui way yet in settings to switch to
administrator mode)

kdesu kcmshell4 kdm

This will attempt to the change the kde display manager (login window)
settings. After entering your password, goto the Users tab. On the far
right is the heading "User Image Source." If this entry says "System,"
then no user can pick their own image. Change it to "User, System" and
this will allow you to change your profile photo.

To change this globally in kubuntu, you can modify the following file on 
default installs.
/usr/share/kde4/config/kdm/kdmrc
ensure that parameter FaceSource is PreferUser
FaceSource=PreferUser
