If you don't mind saving the jpeg in an intermediary file you can use Image
Events to convert the file from JPEG to PICT:
set myURL to
"http://images.apple.com/home/2004/images/ipodphoto2right20041214.jpg";
tell application "URL Access Scripting" to download myURL to ((path to
desktop as text) & "image.jpg")
tell application "Image Events"
set theImage to open ((path to desktop as text) & "image.jpg")
save theImage in ((path to desktop as text) & "image.pict") as PICT
end tell
