When a new user registers to a site, she will be assigned with the default avatar. After that, she can change her avatar using the My account web part. It can be done on its Personal settings tab, as you can see in the screenshot below.

Users can Delete (Delete) the avatar or Upload a custom one from a file. If pre-defined avatars are enabled in site settings, users can also click the Select pre-defined avatar link, which displays a gallery of pre-defined avatars.
