First up - you need to copy the resources/jacket folder from the install location to your config folder, then you need to turn of their read only attributes, then you need to edit them to what you want - but don't rename the files.

It works like this, when calibre wants a resource of some sort (say fred.png), it first looks in the users configuration resource data for it, if it finds what its looking for then it uses that one, if it can't find what it wants it uses what's in the install resources folder.

But don't have any skills in coding these things - I just hack away until its near enough.
