All you need to do for most browsers is upload a 16x16 pixel icon named favicon.ico to the root of your server so it can be found at www.yoursite.com/favicon.ico. I usually make the icon in Photoshop, export to PNG, then convert to ICO using one of the dozens of free online tools for the purpose (check out http://www.favicons.cc).

To explicitly define the favicon for the best possible browser support (or to define different favicons for different sections of your site, for instance), add a line link such in the <head> of your document:

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico" />

This is the quick/dirty version, but hopefully you'll find it helpful.
