Before changing favicon
After changing favicon
Save image you want to use in images directory in profile. Close Opera, search for bookmark/feed/panel you want to change favicon in opera6.adr, enter your image file name with extension in the line ICONFILE= and save.
Set Read-only attribute to image to prevent deletion when you use Delete private data with Clear bookmark visited time option selected.

very helpful, this is what i needed. thanks!(if you find it hard to use, maybe you are not unhiding folders to get to the folders of interest..)

I think what "hard to use" means that we are comparing the typical method:
Bookmark-> Properties-> "Change Icon" Browse... (which does not exist) with:
Navigating through multiple levels of folders hoping to find that file. (normal people do not know where it is. Sometimes its under documents and settings, sometimes its in the program path) Then finding a way to edit it. (.adr is not set up for notepad or anything) Then searching through the thousands of lines of text. Then carefully typing in lines that, if one letter or punctuation is wrong it will not work.
This is a geeks only workaround I'm afraid. Geeks? People who accept poor usability. An in some cases, defend it.

I fully agree with kingsarms it should be :
Bookmark-> Properties-> "Change Icon" Browse...
As i consider it "poor usability"
Also by the way I agree with
"

"
As it will be nice if "opera6.adr" formated as xml or ini file.
