How was the picture imported into PPT? If it was imported as a bitmap,
its text won't be editable. If the text is editable you should be able
to activate and edit it by simply clicking on it. Otherwise you'll
need to resort to Photoshop.

You can overlay text onto a picture by inserting a textbox on top of
it.
