This.

Here's a longer explanation of what theduck was saying.
You've got a few choices. Easiest to hardest IMO
1) re-convert (easiest, but I've seen retail epub -> epub cause minor problems)
2) use kiwidude's modify epub plug-in (works great! Easy!)
3) explode the epub with calibre and replace the cover image file with another file of exactly the same name (works in my experience...may create issues though if the epub code calls out a specific size)
4) crack open the epub in sigil and replace the cover that way (lets you double check the code). Not that hard if you know anything at all about basic html (my html knowledge dates from the 90s).
