Default Change iPhone Wallpaper Xcode 4

Ok so i am working on a application but i want to add a image to my application that can be set as a wallpaper. So how can i do that? I am new to Xcode but with a few tutorials my app is going well but i can't find no tutorials showing me how to change my iphone/ipod wallpaper to the ones i have on my app.
Also how do i add the images i want as wallpapers to my application? And how do i make them wallpaper? What code do i need in order to do that?

Please Answer

You can't programmatically set wallpaper from within the app.

then who do you explain apps like vWallpaper and Backgrounds those applications let you change the wallpaper of your ipod/iphone homescreen by just choosing a wallpaper or a video wallpaper inside the application itself

vWallpaper is a jailbroken app. You can write your own jailbroken app and stick it on Cydia if you want to do that.

Official SDK has no means of doing this.

I know nothing about Cydia and how to get apps onto it - I did start to read up on it once but couldn't be bothered in the end Googling brings up:

xcode - How to develop an app for Cydia and jailbroken iPhones - Stack Overflow

But in terms of the code for getting a wallpaper straight to the springboard via a Cydia app, no idea.

Thanks i still could not find it though so im going to ask you this. Do you know how to add images to a application and then add them to the photo album and then make it wallpaper. Also if that is possible than can you also do that with videos. Also how did the app Backgrounds on the AppStore manage to do that from the application itself. Sorry if im asking too many questions im just curios.
