In summary, in order to change your avatar on the forum, you can either contribute money to the forum or contribute enough information to be recognized as a Science Advisor, Homework Helper, or Mentor by the forum staff. It is also possible to help out in subjects in which you are comfortable, even if you are not knowledgeable in many subjects. Alternatively, there is also the option to contribute monetarily.

Why? You give something to the forum and you get something back!

Because it's highly unlikely I'll be able to contribute. I'm not that knowledgeable in many of the subjects.

You needn't be knowledgeable in many subjects, not many people are. You can just help out in the subjects in which you are comfortable.

Of course there's always the monetary alternative.
