Use SendMessage() with WM_SETICON.

From MSDN:
WM_SETICON
An application sends the WM_SETICON message to associate a new large or
small icon with a window. The system displays the large icon in the ALT+TAB
dialog, and the small icon in the window caption.

WM_SETICON
wParam = (WPARAM) fType; // icon type
lParam = (LPARAM) (HICON) hicon; // handle to icon

Parameters
fType
Value of wParam. Specifies the type of icon being set. This parameter can be
one of the following values: Value Meaning
ICON_BIG Set the large icon for the window.
ICON_SMALL Set the small icon for the window.

hicon
Value of lParam. Handle to the new large or small icon. If this parameter is
NULL, the icon indicated by fType is removed.
Return Values
The return value is a handle to the previous large or small icon, depending
on the value of fType. It is NULL if the window previously had no icon of
the type indicated by fType.

Default Action
The DefWindowProc function returns a handle to the previous large or small
icon associated with the window, depending on the value of fType.

QuickInfo
Windows NT: Requires version 4.0 or later.
Windows: Requires Windows 95 or later.
Windows CE: Requires version 1.0 or later.
Header: Declared in winuser.h.
