I don't think plasmo has built an api for this, so simply use the browsers native api chrome.browserAction.setIcon https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/reference/browserAction/

example use case:

const path = {
  "16": "assets/icon16.png",
  "48": "assets/icon48.png",
  "128": "assets/icon128.png"
};

chrome.browserAction.setIcon({ path });

const path = {
  "16": "assets/icon16.png",
  "48": "assets/icon48.png",
  "128": "assets/icon128.png"
};

chrome.browserAction.setIcon({ path });

in the background script, you can use plasmo's browser api which will dynamically change based which browser you are on i think you need to config the action in the manifest although
