The way the trash full/empty icon change is handle makes this impossible atm, unfortunately. Changing this requires redoing the trash system a lot, which might happen in the future. The only way to change your thrashcan at the moment is to use the icon themeing system. You can do this by adding files named: gnome-fs-trash-empty.png gnome-fs-trash-full.png gnome-fs-trash-empty-accept.png gnome-fs-trash-full-accept.png to ~/.icons/$theme/48x48/filesystems/ where $theme is the theme you're using (probably "gnome" or "Bluecurve").
