Sorry, but your title says about exe files. I belive these are application launch files in Windows, but there are no exes on Mac. If you work on a mac you should know that. Mac's apps have extension .app

Now to change an icon of any document/folder/application you need to open Get Info winodow from the File menu in Finder or press Command-I, then select the small icon on the top-left and paste another one

Create and .icns file using Icon Composer (part of XCode), put it in the Resources folder of the application bundle. Don't forget to define the icon in the app builder.

I think he's talking about a C++ program without an application bundle.

The only way, AFAIK, is to use the copy/paste method mentioned above.
