You can make (pixel) icons in pretty much any decent art program, personally I use Photoshop Elements for the pixeling and then Gimp for animating. You also don't need a tablet, I very often just use a mouse for it. As to the 'how', that's not really so easily said in a few words, it depends very much on what kind of icon you want to make, what technique you want to use etc... do you maybe have any specific questions? ^^
