Instead of the text there, could I use images?

If not, are there other software besides wordpress that lets you do that?

Why do you want images?
Text helps the search engines to better index your content.

Yes, you can. Be sure to use a CSS image replacement technique, to keep your site compatible with Google and screen readers. Explanation: Another image replacement technique

Note: the downside is that using images makes it harder to extend your blog - you need to add and upload a new image every time you want to add a menu item. I prefer the flexibility of an all CSS menu, 'cause I always seem to end up adding buttons quite a few times...

You can use CSS and background images to create a css navigation menu and still maintain the positive index and follow results that a CSS navigation provides.
