You need to create a virtual video source/camera filter. There have been a dozen of questions like this on SO, so I will just link to some of them:

Windows SDK has PushSource sample which shows how to generate video off a filter. VCam sample you can find online shows what it takes to make a virtual device from video source.

See also: How to implement a "source filter" for splitting camera video based on Vivek's vcam?.

NOTE: Latest versions of Skype are picky as for video devices and ignore virtual devices for no apparent reason.

You should start here : Writing DirectShow Filters or here : Introduction to DirectShow Filter Development

I assume you already have Windows SDK for such develpment, if not check this
