Say you have an image called "sample_image" in your account and you want to upload another image with the same name, you can simply upload it while setting the public_id to "sample_image" and add the overwrite parameter. Also, you probably want to purge the old image from the CDN to make sure you're delivering the newest version, so set the invalidate flag to true in the upload call as well.

cloudinary.uploader.upload('my_image.jpg', function(result) { console.log(result) }, 
                       { public_id: "sample_image", overwrite:true, invalidate,true });
