There is an issue regarding this that may be resolved in ckan 2.1
https://github.com/okfn/ckan/issues/500


The way in 2.0 would be to create your own extension implementing the
IConfigurer interface and using a custom template for home/index.py

{% ckan_extends %}

{% block home_image %}
 <your content>
{% endblock %}

To replace the existing block

see http://docs.ckan.org/en/latest/templating.html#templating-within-extensions
