If you mean moving objects in design mode, it's impossible, because positioning of elements on form should be done via CSS.

Assuming you use WinForm (but for WPF its not much different):
Each control has a KeyDown event, which is fired when a key is pressed down (and a KeyUP and KeyPress which are fired accordingly:

So you can do something like the following (e.g. in the constructor or load event of the form): 

//this enables the form to receive all key events if a child control has focus
this.KeyPreview = true; 

this.KeyDown += (s, e) =>
{
    if(e.KeyCode == Keys.Up)
        picture.Location.Y++;
    //etc...
}
