You will have to download the icon first. Just keep in mind that the icon must be in ICO format.
You can get the icon on websites such as iconarchive.com or findicons.com.
Head over to one of the websites, enter Facebook and then download the icon you like. Just make sure you are getting the ICO format. When you get the icon, go to your desktop and find the Facebook shortcut you previously created. Right-click on it and then click Properties.
Click on the Change icon. Click Browse and find the icon. Now click open. Click OK, and finally click Apply.
The icon for your Facebook shortcut has now been changed.
