What do you mean exactly? Be more clear (detailed) ;)

-

Do you mean how to change the icon locally, as shown in your Windows? (eg: in the start menu and stuff)

If so, simply right click the link in your start/programs menu and choose properties > change icon.

-

Do you mean physically changing the icons used by a program? (eg: so if you send that program to someone else, they get the same icon)

This can only be done if you physically change the icon resources of the program. Usually this is done with programs like ResHacker. This is called hard patching or in this case resource changing. But you must know what you're doing, as you can easly corrupt the program with this.

Certain programs also check their own program file to see if they aren't altered. And/or other ones are in a compressed format; you first need to decrompress them in order to be able to change anything (if you can change it at all that is).
