You can't change the Steam library icons. You can create desktop shortcuts and change their icons the same way you change any shortcut icon.

Where can I find pictures for icon replacing as whatever I download seems invalid.

You can try going into the files of the game and replacing the .ico. I tried it myself but it only reverted to the hl2 logo though. (Program Files (x86)/Steam/steamapps/common/Team Fortress 2/tf/resource)

This thread was quite old before the recent post, so we're locking it to prevent confusion.
