Well, that's easy: no.
It might be implemented in some future version, but you have to ask rude that.

A .love file is essentially a .zip file. The icon is determined by the program assigned to opening .love files, so you cannot change the icon for a specific file.

However, when you package your game with the executable, it's possible to change the icon for the application. You can do this on Windows by using something like Resource Hacker.

The latter part is true, however the first part not completely. It depends largely on the Operating System used by your user/gamer. On Windows, I know it's possible, though difficult, and it requires messing with the Windows Registry entry for .love-files and more vague stuff. On Linux, it depends on the directory browser you're using (and I don't exactly know which support something like that and how). I have no experience with OSX. So, it's not really you'd want to do for just a simple game.
Help us help you: attach a .love.
