    that's a tough one. the only thing that I think you might be able to do is to upload the picture again but with a different name. In other words if the original picture was myhouse.jpg, go ahead and rename it to myhouse2.jpg and upload it again. I believe Facebook will not be able to tell that the pictures are the same, it only goes by the file name I believe. Then you can select myhouse2.jpg as your profile picture. I think this is the only way you'd be able to do this.... if you try this let me know how it works out, I'd be curious to know. Cheers :D
