Take a look at Accept property:

HttpWebRequest myHttpWebRequest=(HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(myUri);
myHttpWebRequest.Accept="image/*";    
HttpWebResponse myHttpWebResponse=
         (HttpWebResponse)myHttpWebRequest.GetResponse();

This MSDN article shows how to add custom headers to your request:

//Get the headers associated with the request.
WebHeaderCollection myWebHeaderCollection = myHttpWebRequest.Headers;    

//Add the Accept-Language header (for Danish) in the request.
myWebHeaderCollection.Add("Accept-Language:da");

//Include English in the Accept-Langauge header. 
myWebHeaderCollection.Add("Accept-Language","en;q=0.8");
