How To Associate an Icon with an eVB Application
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/268309

It says:

eVB applications are not compiled to executable files but to binary files that the Pvbload.exe executable interprets. Thus, eVB applications use the icon from Pvbload.exe in the same way that Microsoft Excel worksheets use the icon from Excel.exe. To allow for a customized application icon, you must create an eMbedded Visual C++ (eVC) application that only shells out to the operating system to run the application. The operating system recognizes that there is a file association with Pvbload.exe.

Another possibility is to convert to NS Basic/CE. It allows you to specify icons - even to meet the requirements of Windows Mobule 6.5.
