WinApi provides function UpdateResource which allows you to change any resource of in PE file.

This problem was already solved on stackoverflow.

thanks,but it is not want i want,I'm trying to change the icon of external executable programmatically. I've googled and found much information about this problem using C++. Basically, I need to use BeginUpdateResource, UpdateResource and EndUpdateResource. The problem is - I don't know what to pass to UpdateResource in C#. – yaruwang Oct 05 '12 at 11:18
