Years ago, the one true tool on OS X for changing system icons was CandyBar, but that app has been discontinued. These days, LiteIcon does the job just fine, albiet without the UI bells and whistles.
Much like CandyBar, LiteIcon makes it simple to change system, folder and volume icons, as well as set custom icons for any of your applications. You can also revert back to original icons at any time with a single click. It’s completely free and currently the best way to change icons on your Mac.
