Your question is not so clear ...:
1) do you want to place an image to use as reference for modelling? (in this case SALA has given the correct answer)
2) do you want to use a 2D image ON a 3D object? (for example a still-life image on a painting suspended to a wall, in this case you are talking about texturing)
3) do you want to automatically transform a 2D image in a "real" 3D object mesh? (in this case ... this is near to a dream ... you must try to use special software like this)

Let us know!
Regards
