If you didn't create the work, you need to make sure it's from the public domain or has a Creative Commons License? Make sure you use recommended sites or do an Advanced Search in Google. For a CC license, make sure you're following the license. For example, if it doesn't give you permission to change the work, then you can't change it.
It's always a good idea to attribute the creator of the work. Include the creator's name and the website where you found it.
