Personally I take the easy route, instead of modifying the main application icon,
I just create a shortcut to the application and then I right-click the shortcut to change the icon to whatever I want.

properties -> shortcut -> change icon

Most portable launchers I have tried (I am currently using LibreKey) will also let you change icons easily.

You could check viewtopic.php?t=21358 & viewtopic.php?p=102677#p102677 to see my current personal preference for the task, i.e., PE Icon Changer... :idea:

I believe you can provided this two pre-requisites: 1) you're able to find the appropriate resource in Resource Hacker and replace it; 2) the executable isn't self-checking its hash or lenght... YMMV.
