You can't change a JPEG file to a vector file. A JPEG is a raster or bitmap image and is resolution-dependant. A vector file is made up of paths and is resolution-INdependent (you can enlarge it as much as you want and the quality will not suffer.)
Adobe Illustrator has a function that makes it possible to trace SOME bitmap images and produce a vector file, but if the quality of the original isn't good, you'll still get a rough image.

A JPEG file is raster art--colored pixels arranged in a square grid. Vector art is shapes made of points, lines, and curves, described to the computer in a coordinate system. Once you "rasterize" art, detail is lost and it's difficult to get it back. You can use Adobe Illustrator's Live Trace function to try to create vector art out of it but it will not be as good. Always start with vector art and only rasterize it as a final step.

Unfortunately, the JPG file is already compressed. You can save it as a pdf but it will not retain the quality of a vector file. You can go from vector to non-vector (for example Illustrator to JPG) but not from non-vector to vector.
Something you can do is to import the JPG into Adobe Illustrator and trace it. Then delete the original JPG. You will have to play around with it a bit, but ultimately, you will have a vector file version of it.

JPEG is a raster or pixal image. The best way is to import into Illustrator or FreeHand and trace the image. Illustrator has Streamline and FreeHand has Autotrace that can pretty close and they work fast.

By hand. You need to redraw or better, trace your picture in a vector layer. remove all other layers when you are done and save as the file type you want.
As far as I know there is no 'automated' way to do this that is satisfactory.

Just open the photo and go to your toolbar and click file and save as, and you will get a window open and at the bottom click JPEG. Ypu will have two copies then 1 in bitmap and 1 in jpeg
