Import of JPEG's yields graphics objects of the structure:

Graphics[ Raster[data], opts ]

If you import your jpeg using Import:

jpeg = Import["picture", "JPEG"];

Then you can extract the raster data structure using

raster = jpeg[[1]]

Look up Raster in the help browser to see how a Raster object is 
structured. Basically, the first element of the raster is your 2D array 
of cells.
