You can convert favicon.ico to .xpm format using netpbm (or,
hypothetically speaking, imagemagick should work - it's a two step
process using netpbm). I forget if there are any special issues with
either approach for dealing with transparent pixels in icons.

You can edit .xpm files using vim (and if you are in an environment,
such as X, which can display colors, vim can show you the represented
image). This is not so good for large photographs, but works fine for
icon files.

Then convert the editted result back to .ico.

(And, of course, if you find yourself doing this a lot, make scripts
for the parts you do not like typing out.)

I hope this helps,
