How to change Scratch's (or any program's) icon on a mac.
First, find the image you will use for the icon. Copy this image onto the clipboard with command-c. Now, click on Scratch (or the file whose icon you want to change). RIght click, and then click 'get info'. You can also press command-i. A dialog box should come up, and at the top should be the current icon of the file. Select this icon by clicking on it, then paste the image onto it with command-v. The file's icon should change. Voilá! Your program's icon has changed!

Do you have instructions for windows 7? I know one way that doesn't always work. How do you do this on Windows? Anyone?
If you are reading this, please read to the end, because if you don't you won't know what's at the end. Don't just skip to the end though otherwise you won't be able to read the middle, which is most important. Now you must be wondering why you just read all that, the reason is you may have not noticed something, read it again and see if you notice it this time

I assume it works on Snow Leopard; I believe I run it. And you will need to select the file/program either in Finder, or on the Desktop.

Sorry, I don't know any ways for Windows. 
You should buy a Mac for the express purpose of doing this!

Well there are tons of customization applications for windows ! u will be amazed how much u can customize your own windows , but changing icon of an application is pretty easy
if u want to follow the dock way suggested above you can install RocketDock or ObjectDOCK for windows and follow same steps as he told!
or to change the desktop icon ::
goto your icon : right click it : goto properties : and search the properties screen untill you see a Change Icon button : Click it : Then in the window which opens choose browse and browse to any image file in .ico format (these can be downloaded from the internet and there are a lot of applications the create them as GIMP)
Click whats above u might make a cute planet happy ^_^ Offline

That changes the icon of the folder, not the exe. I know how to do that.
