UpdatE: Make it into a nice function for you: http://jsfiddle.net/wesbos/KH25r/1/

function swapOutSource(url, newSource) {
    params = url.split('&');
    var src = params[0].split('=');
    params.shift();
    src[1] = newSource;
    var newUrl = ( src.join('=') + params.join('&')); 
    return newUrl; 
}

Then go at it!

var newUrl = swapOutSource("http://localhost/mysite/includes/phpThumb.php?src=http://media2.jupix.co.uk/v3/clients/4/properties/795/IMG_795_1_large.jpg&w=592&aoe=1&q=100","http://link/to/new.jpg");


console.log(newUrl);
