First get Image from your resource:

var bmp = new Bitmap(
                   System.Reflection.Assembly.GetEntryAssembly().
                   GetManifestResourceStream("MyProject.Resources.myimage.png"));

or 

var bmp = new Bitmap(WindowsFormsApplication1.Properties.Resources.myimage);

Second Save image to specify Path using Image.Save.

Finally change desktop background using this code from a SO post:
