for (int i = 0; i < verticescopy.size(); i++)
{

And the result
As you can think this isn't effect which I'm looking for. What I want is to put skull X-ray texture, which you can see on image, on front of skull model (just like people paint their faces for Halloween etc.)
I used gluProject to convert 3D coordinates to 2D coordinates (world to screen). When I get 2D coordiantes of point I just divide it by width or height of texture (depends on coordinates type) which gets me UV coordinate for this point. Is there some hole in my thinking which causes this strange looking texturing?

Yes. Apparently you think your texture coordinates in some way depend on the orientation of your model and the way it's projected. That would mean if you'd move the "camera" around, that the texture coordinates would have to change. This is obviously wrong (obviously if one knows, how texture coordinates are supposed to work). BTW, in OpenGL the texture coordinates are denoted, S, T, R and Q, instead of UV.
A texture coordinate associates a vertex with a specific position within an image. This image-space position may be completely independent from where the vertex is in model-space; there may be a relationship for procedural texturing or reflection maps, but in general those are completely independent.
Normally texture coordinates are not generated, but manually defined by an artist when creating the 3D model and then stored as another piece to the model data.
What I want is to put skull X-ray texture, which you can see on image, on front of skull model (just like people paint their faces for Halloween etc.)
Say you really want to go the texture generation method, fair enough, then this would be a planar projection of the texture space into the model space. You have to know which orientation your skull is. For the sake of writing this, that the top of the head) is Y+, the left side is X+ and nasal goes Z+, then your X-ray image would project into the XY plane. Let's furthermore assume that your X-ray image is snugly cropped. Texture space is defined to fit the image into the range ]0,1[^n (where n is the dimension of the image). So that means that whatever the value range for X and Y components of the vertex positions is, this has to be mapped into the range ]0,1[ respectively.
This gives the following peudocode:
min_X = +inf
max_X = -inf
min_Y = +inf
max_Y = -inf
foreach vertex in model:
min_X = min(min_X, vertex.position.x)
min_Y = min(min_Y, vertex.position.y)
max_X = max(max_X, vertex.position.x)
max_Y = max(max_Y, vertex.position.y)
k_X = 1/(max_X - min_X)
k_Y = 1/(max_Y - min_Y)
foreach vertex in model:
vertex.texturecoordinate.s = (vertex.position.x - min_X) * k_X
vertex.texturecoordinate.t = (vertex.position.y - min_Y) * k_Y
