Good people, I bought a complete website + APP for Android, I sent them to compile for Android the PNG for Icon and Title, but unfortunately it did not look good and I would like to change. I asked them for recompiling, but they charged me $ 87 and at the moment I can not, I wonder if it's possible to recompile myself, I'm a student in the area.
Is it possible to recompile an Android APK to change only the name and icon?

It is possible to make some changes to the APK yes, but it depends on how it was generated and signed. The APK format is nothing more than a ZIP file, when seen in a simple way.
You could, in some cases, change the icons manually using an application such as 7-Zip or WinRAR. However, I believe the simplest way to do this would be to use the APK Icon Editor .
Simply load APK into your application and use the Replacement options icon menu. The program has two modes of operation, the ZIP and the APK Tool . The first makes a simple replacement of the icon files (should solve your problem); the latter offers more advanced features, mostly related to reverse engineering. You can select them in the program settings.
EDIT: Another option is to use the APK Manager program. This tutorial of the XDA Developers Forum details the procedure.
