    Indeed you can. Copy the new icon to your clipboard. Get-info the app you want to change in your applications folder. Highlight the app icon up top of that Get-info window, and paste. Job done. Or use the App called CandyBar, but that has a trial period. You may need to drag the app you changed off your dock, and re-drag from the Applications folder to refresh to the new icon.

    Sometimes when the application opens it will replace the custom icon in the dock. If this happens you need to do some "Show Package Contents" hackery.
