When not perched on my workspace, I tremendously enjoy hiking in the bushes and climbing mountains. They serve as much-needed refuges from the pretense of cities.

Yes sure, you can just replace one of the default header images with your own, but be advised that when you update the theme later on, the file will be replaced again with the theme’s own.
Write permission problems are quite common in CMS packages, including WordPress, but it’s not the fault of the CMSs themselves. It’s usually a result of PHP being run as an Apache module and the appropriate folders don’t have global write permission (0777). Many hosts nowadays run PHP as separate, user-based processes so file and folder permissions are never a problem.
You can try setting the folder permissions to 0777 yourself using FTP, and see if that fixes it first. Though be advised that this can lead to security vulnerability, especially if the site is on a shared hosting.
You can’t just simply FTP the image and then use it as the custom header image. That’s because WordPress needs to update the database to keep track which header image is uploaded for which themes, so that when you switch themes the same header image is not used for the new theme.
Again, the main problem here is that WordPress is not able to write to the wp-content folder, which will cause a lot of WordPress functions to not work as they should. You should really try to fix that issue first before worrying about the header image.
This is most likely to be the server’s issue, and there’s nothing I can do on my end to help you with it. Seems like PHP doesn’t have write permission to the uploads folder.
If I were you, I would consider it to be a major issue, one that will have the highest priority to be fixed before I do anything else. Try talking to your hosting provider and see if they can help.

What was the error message when you tried to upload the custom header image? Are you alo having the same problem when uploading to the media library?
