Open the file and then click File->Save As...
Then change file type to jpg and save it
Oh, and if you have to edit the photo, and do any manipulation, then work on it in its .BMP state first, then save it as a JPEG, otherwise you could have bad image degredation every time you save, and therefore compress, the JPEG image.
Another tip for image compression with a JPEG is to give it a very subtle hint of gaussian blur, which softens the hard edges in the image, and makes it easier to compress. Try it one day, save the normal JPEG image, then save it with the gaussian blur, and check the difference in file size. As you are adding blur, I wouldn't reccomend it on anything but the sharpest images to begin with, and even then only if you're using them more as a thumbnail, rather than a full screen image.
