Is there a way to allow Players to update their own tokens?

My friends and I (including the DM) are very new to using this site for table top gaming.  I'm wondering, is it really a responsibility of the DM alone to update every player's tokens for them? I would love to be able to keep a few tokens of my character around and change them in accordingly, but I wouldn't like to keep poking the DM to change my tokens for me hahah.  Since I can update my character's profile picture just fine without needing to bother the DM, I don't understand why updating Token needs to be a DM-only prerogative.  Thanks in advance for any help or tips.
Players do not have the ability to delete any resources on the table-top, so they couldn't remove any tokens they may place. You can currently dragon your Journal Portrait onto the tabletop, as your token, but you can't remove it or edit anything beyond its three token bars.

*cough*  just faced off against an Elder green and two adult reds last session; what can I say :)
There is a way! Make a rollable table with all the versions of your token you want. Then, when that is done, click the "token" button next to it then right click -> advanced -> is painting. Now there is a token on the tabletop that you can modify, use etc as normal, however it also allows you to right click -> multi-sided -> pick your option. Tada! Player changeable token :) (this still, however, requires the GM to make the table, upload the pictures etc, but yeah, you can change which one you use during play)

Gonna try this out. Thanks for the tip.
You're welcome. :)
