If you look at the left side of the screen with all the links, in the section titled "Toolbox", there is a link called "Upload file". Click this, and you can upload an image. Although, if it is a copyrighted image, you will have to explain that it is being used for a good reason. Then, when you edit an article, put [[File:example.png|thumb|this is an image about blah]].

If the picture is already on Wikipedia, or Wikimedia commons, all you need to do is input the file name like a wiki-link, for example: [[File:Example.svg]] For more detailed info http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Picture_tutorial
