You can upgrade pip with pip i believe:

jcg at jcg-desktop:~/code/python$ pip install pip
Requirement already satisfied (use --upgrade to upgrade): pip in
/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7
Cleaning up...
jcg at jcg-desktop:~/code/python$


jcg at jcg-desktop:~/code/python$ pip install --upgrade pip


Be sure to sudo before if you don't have permissions.
