Just right-click on it, choose "Properties" and then click on the icon.

Which KDE version do you use? You could try to alter the ~/Desktop/trash.desktop file (esp. the Icon and EmptyIcon entries).

as root go to /usr/share/icons and if you use crystal or other iconset you'll see directories named "crystal" "nuvola" etc, go into the crystal or nuvola directory and go into filesystems and change as you want the trash and trashcan icons with the icons you like
