You can modify certain elements of any photo in your Facebook albums.

Facebook is one of the largest online social networks, and many of its members make use of the site's Photos feature to share snapshots with their friends, family members and co-workers. When you first upload a picture to your Facebook profile, you can enter a description, tag other people in it and add it to an existing album. If you later decide to change a photo's properties, you can edit it without losing the comments that others have written.
