Well take your pic and get one of those graphic converters and convert it to a .ico file. Such as PNG2Ico or etc.

Or you could also get the icoformat plugin for photoshop and it adds the .ico format to your save file type as... (and open file types...) so you can just save your .ico that way as well. Plus its free :D

Then right click the icon you want to change >> properties >> shortcut tab >> change icon... button >> browse to your new icon >> rest is pretty much self explanitory.
