You really haven't given enough detail to be sure.

But, based on my guess at what you mean, no, this can not be done.

I don't think you can control the referrer header info, afaik.

Hi Anthony, what I hope to do is change the value of
document.referrer. Unfortunately, it a readonly var. I just hope that
you or someone here might know a way using GM to change that value.

anyway thanks for ur help

You can't change the referrer. But you can change the image URL to a
proxy server.
Try ImageShack Proxification at http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/7915
