It's interesting how 'photoshop' is used as a verb now... it originally referred to the graphics program Adobe Photoshop (e.g. PS CS2; [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)), which is widely considered to be the best graphics program on the market -- it's certainly one of the most powerful and expensive, though it's not worth getting just to 'photoshop' a head.

What you want first of all is a good graphics program. I've already suggested Photoshop, but less expensive programs like Paint Shop Pro are also very good ([Link](Mouse over link to see full location)). You could do it in programs like Microsoft Paint, but you'll end up with unnatural-looking results.

Once you've got a good graphics program, learn how the program works -- programs like PS are very complex with a steep learning curve, so it's worth getting the hang of it. Since you want to copy your head onto a cartoon image, you want to be proficient with the various Select tools and Quick Mask in particular (PS-specific). Once you've got the hang of these, it's very easy to copy your head onto another picture, but for more details, have a look at tutes such as this, applicable to many situations: [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
