Well, you can change the quality, using
    pdf2swf -s quality=xx file.pdf -o file.swf
with "xx" being a decimal quality setting.

You can't change the atual jpeg algorithm though, if that was really
your question.

dpi is "-s zoom=xx" in the command line tool.
The resolution is for downscaling images in the PDF that have a too high
resolution. This usually makes SWF files smaller, but might affect
zoomability.

zoom (or dpi) affect what's the "standard resolution" of a .swf, which
is the resolution for which it is optimized.
Things that are adapted to the resolution are font quality, vector
graphics quality, and bitmap resolution, both for normal images as
well as for vector graphics converted to an image (with -s poly2bitmap).
