What the title says. Can it be done?

Absolutely. Fire up ResEdit and go to town on the various icon resources in the built-in editor!

Thanks! Will give that a shot.

Sorry if this is a silly question, but will ResEdit let you take a small, low-res picture and make an icon out of it?

Yes, you can paste it into the icon editor.
