That's very simple. Run the following command:
dcop kdesktop KBackgroundIface setWallpaper <desktop> <file> <mode>
where
    <desktop> is number of desktop where you want to change wallpaper
    <file> is a graphical file which you want to use as wallpaper
    <mode> is an integer from 1 to 8. You can get description of every 
mode in "Configure desktop" tool.
