There are a many ways within Mathematica to manipulate images using a function based on any desired neighborhood for pixels within that image. Probably the function you want to use is ImageConvolve or a related function such as ImageCorrelate. If these are too high level, i.e., you want to manipulate the image data directly, then there are functions like ListConvolve or ListCorrelate. Both ListConvolve and ListCorrelate allow you to specify arbitrary functions to operate on array elements (pixels).
