There is some sample code here that does this (sets the iChat image using
AppleScript and TIFF images based on files on disk):

I'm trying to follow iChat's lead but haven't gotten it to work yet.
For the icon itself I wouldn't lose a ton of sleep if I couldn't make it
work, but I also have a (read-only) pdf property I need to offer so knowing
more about how applescripters handle binary date is helpful.
Thanks.
