Click on the "Profile" button at the top, then click on the "Forum profile information" link.  You can choose another picture there.  You can't upload your own unless you are ranked as an expert (or maybe contributor, I don't remember now).  To get up to 3 normal stars, you just participate in the forums and when you've been around long enough, posting enough messages, you'll get more stars.  People with special stars get them by demonstrating their expertise or contributing a game (if I've missed anyone, BTW, let me know).  The special ranks are "Contributor" (2 special green stars) for those who have submitted games, "Clever" (3 special green stars) for people who help others out with clever advice, "Expert" (5 special green stars) for people who have demonstrated mastery of SGDK, understanding of all its areas and ability to use them in interesting ways (...and for the administrator's girlfriend  :-[... who's doing pretty will with SGDK2 herself), and finally "Administrator" (5 special brown stars).

I find it easier to recognize who posted what by their avatar image.  When people change the picture, or when two people have the same picture, it gets confusing!

Not yet.  I didn't plan out a ranking system, so I only thought of a couple ranks that I wanted to create to provide some benefit to people who spend time with SGDK.  Maybe if someone submits a game that other users rate highly I'll create a new 4 star rank if they're not quite an expert, but they make good games :).

Could I count as an expert if I create a project with 50 levels? (With Teams' help)

I think "expert" defines people who are fully aware of all of the program's ins and outs and how to use the program completely (or nearly). Quality over quantity, you know.  If the levels are all quality levels, though, and you show and share your knowledge on the forum, then probably you could be considered an expert.
