The ico is embedded in the engine, so to overwrite it you'll need to 
supply another ico in the Standalone Builder.

v2.6 now supports a wider range of icon depths for Win32, so maybe one 
of the folks here will be able to put together a nifty ico package to 
send you.

But better still would be your own custom icon.  There are plenty of 
ico-generating tools available with trial periods sufficient for a 
single icon, and for most the fee is low enough to make it a good 
bargain (after paying $995 for a development system; I bought Axialis 
IconWorkshop for $35 and have been very pleased with it:
