This is easy to earn, even if you have no perks spent in either tree or have special equipment to increase your chance of success. It will just require some time. Sneak is also helpful, but not required. For Lockpicking, you will find many chests while exploring dungeons. You can also open locks for people's houses in various cities at night. However, do this in sneak mode in case a guard passes by. Lock picks are relatively cheap (6 gold each with a low Speech skill). The more you practice, the more adept you will become. For Pickpocketing, target citizens of the nine major cities. You must be in sneak mode to have this option appear, and consider saving the game before each attempt. You can speed up the process if you pickpocket enemies before killing them.
