What do you want to change it to? When you save a web page as a web archive, the extension assigned to it is so that it can be opened by Safari. So the question is what are you trying to do?

Mickredirl is going about it the wrong way.

When you try to "save as" something in Safari, you're offered Webarchive or Page Source as your only options. This refers to the ENTIRE web page, not a picture.

The correct way to say a picture from a website is to simply right-click on it and choose "Save Image As" or one of the related options. Or even simpler, you can just grab and DRAG the image right off the web page and onto your desktop to be filed away properly later.
