This feature is not possible, period. Although you can upload an image to the Graph API and then redirect the user to the permalink of that post :)

It's possible by adding makeprofile=1 at the end of uploaded photo url. You can find example (PHP) and demo here: http://4rapiddev.com/facebook-graph-api/php-change-facebook-profile-picture-with-graph-api/

The Graph API discusses POSTing a picture to an account but I see nothing related to the direct altering of a user account. I suspect they only recognize GET requests under their RESTful API (for the user area). Thus, a no.

That's just information gleaned from the Facebook API docs, however. I could be missing something though.
