How do you change the picture of an icon?

I want to make a short cut on my dock for my Word and Excel in Vista running under Fusion. But the icon that was used in Vista upon using on a Mac is horrible. I want to change it to a nicer icon, how should I do it?
 
Issue I think (not 100% on Vista though) with my XP / Parallels is windows related. With my XP - the fonts look all grainy - because OSX supports much larger font resolution (128 x 128 or something) while windows is either 16 x 16, or 32 x 32 - honestly can't remember exactly - but it is something to that effect.

512 x 512 in Leopard.

Windows icons don't scale well in OS X. There are a few Windows applications that do have updated larger icons though.
 
Yeowza - I knew it was a lot higher resolution, but didn't know it was 512.

Well yeah, that's why my Windows icons look like crap in my OSX dock when the VM.
