You could use Paint.net to make an icon for your map...

I guess you want to create somekind of thumbnail for your map for upload right?
If im not mistaking you can add text to your TGA and everything you like with a graphical programm such as paint.net, it will be displayed on your map in the mapselection interface but it wont be displayed in game and it wont be displayed in worldbuilder so yes you can replace your TGA with a modded one, i just tested it and it works, added some text to a map.tga.
Here is an example, at least if my suspicion about what you want is right...Oh the memories, shame that CNCDEN is down, was a good site

If you have a modded tga it might get overridden by WB when it saves the map (it automatically generates and updates it).

You customize your map.tga when your map is finished, it can be used then as a thumbnail for the map, check the link i provided, you dont do it while you work on your map, every new save creates a new map.tga.
