The first block of information includes your current profile picture, your name, and your contact information. When you tap on that, you'll be directed to an "Edit Account" page.
This will open your camera, allowing you to take a new picture for your profile. Depending on your phone, you might have to tap Take Photo after tapping your profile picture.
