On the “Menu” screen, at the top, tap your profile. On your profile page, in the bottom-right corner of your current profile picture, tap the camera icon. A menu will open from the bottom of your phone’s screen. In this menu, tap “Select Profile Picture.” Select a photo from your phone’s gallery or your Facebook gallery.
Your picture’s preview will appear on Facebook. Try to fit your photo’s main area in the circle using the “Drag to Reposition” handler. To crop your photo, click the “Crop Photo” option. Finally, click the “Save” button. And you have successfully replaced your old profile picture with a new picture.
Canva’s free profile picture creator combines photo editor and design tools in one, so you can create beautiful PFPs in minutes. Launch Canva and search for “Profile Picture.” You may also search for “Facebook Profile Frame” and use it for any social media PFP.
To search for a Facebook profile with a picture, simply upload the picture, then it will scan hundreds of social networks, run through its proprietary scammer database and organize results into a detailed report.
Well, I think the only options available are:
I would suggest you to use the first one, because it gives you more flexibility about the picture size (?type=small, ?type=thumbnail, etc).
Edit
Keep in mind that this answer is from 2011, and Facebook makes changes in its APIs frequently.

Apart from using Graph API as already mentioned above (https://graph.facebook.com/[PROFILE_ID]/picture), there are a couple more ways:
FlipTop has a service that pulls up all sorts of information on Facebook users, including direct CDN URLs (e.g. https://fbcdn-profile-a.akamaihd.net/hprofile-ak-snc4/275588_504804917_147319_n.jpg) of profile pictures. (Link to API documentation)
Cloudinary has a similar service, but with hosting thrown in the mix. They do require you to open an account, but it's free. Then you can use their CDN URL format to link to any picture like this: http://res.cloudinary.com/[YOUR_ACCOUNT]/image/facebook/[PROFILE_ID].jpg (Read more here)
